PAUL. My life on you! The money is here. [_Shows her the roll of money._] Five hundred and ninety-nine pounds sterling. But the bank will never thumb it. Ould Deegan can pay the bank at his leisure. After his long reign of tyranny, a little touch of humility will do him good.... So what do you say, my honey, if we spend this rowl together? DAISY. Do you care for me, Paul? PAUL. If there is true love on earth, Daisy, I’ve found it. The first time I heard your sweet voice was at M’Gothigan’s barn-dance and I kicked off a year every time you spoke. DAISY. And would you come to America, Paul? PAUL. The dream of my life has been to salute the statue of Liberty in New York harbour. DAISY. But what security have I that you mean a square deal? PAUL. I can give substantial bail for my good behaviour. [_Offers her the roll of notes._] Put that in your vanity-bag, dearest. DAISY. No, sweetheart. You hang on to it yourself.... You’re a nice feller, and look good to me.... Kiss my hand. PAUL. I’m glad to see you’re affectionate. [_Kisses her hand._] We’ll pay Dublin a quiet visit, till this blows over, and then, as Dan says, “the raging main.” DAISY. My cousin Darby’s going to drive us in. I can pick up my suit-case at the house, passing. PAUL. Beautiful! We just have nice time to catch the last train ... and Darby will drive home empty. _OLD DEEGAN, O’HAGAN and DENIS come in._ O’HAGAN. Miss Mullan, when you settle with the bank will you come right back here? I’ll wait here for you. And we’ll have our offer prepared.... It won’t be ungenerous. DAISY. Waal, we’ll see. I’ll come right back.... Paul Twyning, are you ready? PAUL. One moment. I want to see Dan. I want the loan of his shower-proof, for I can’t interview bankers in this raiment.... [_He goes into the room._] DAISY. I believe you folks have got the soft side of Paul Twyning, I do. O’HAGAN. You are mistaken. There’s no soft side to Paul Twyning. DAISY. Waal, I’m going to settle with the bank. [_Taps her bag._] The money is here.... Not the money was stolen, but other money. And mind, I expect a square deal when I come back. DEEGAN. And you’ll get it. _PAUL comes from the room, wearing DAN’S new coat and hat._ PAUL. Mr. Deegan, could you oblige me in a loan of ten pounds? DEEGAN. Oh, I think so. [_Gives him the money._] PAUL. I may need this and I may not, but it’s always well to have it.... Now, Miss Mullan, is your equipage ready? DEEGAN. Darby Mullan has his car at the gate. DAISY. Does anyone want to come to town? O’HAGAN. No, thanks. We all stay here till you come back. PAUL. Well, good-bye for the present.... You won’t have long to wait. _PAUL and DAISY go out. PATRICK, DAN, MRS. DEEGAN and ROSE come from the room._ PATRICK. Are they away, father?
