LESLIE. Conscience money! DUNSTAN RENSHAW. That is the name I give my little charities. LESLIE. Do you call all charity conscience money? DUNSTAN RENSHAW. No. But, Leslie, no man is good enough for a good woman, and so I’m trying to buy my right to possess you---- LESLIE. To possess _me_! Worthless me! DUNSTAN RENSHAW. My right to your love and--your esteem. LESLIE. Oh, Dun, you are sad! As if anything in life could rob you of my worship. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. Nothing that could happen? LESLIE. Husband, what _could_ happen! [_HUGH MURRAY enters unseen by LESLIE, but DUNSTAN stares at him, as if in terror._] DUNSTAN RENSHAW. Murray! HUGH MURRAY. Pardon me. Wilfrid told me to---- LESLIE. Mr. Murray! Oh, dear Mr. Murray! [_She takes his hands._] WILFRID. [_Joining them._] The very last man we expected at the Villa Colobiano! And, what do you think, Dunstan--he hasn’t come to see the old fresco! LESLIE. Dunstan! [_HUGH and DUNSTAN look significantly at LESLIE, and then shake hands._] DUNSTAN RENSHAW. As Wilfrid says, you are the last man we looked to see in Florence. LESLIE. But, oh, so welcome! HUGH MURRAY. You must not, I’m sorry to say, consider this the visit of a friend, Mr. Renshaw. LESLIE. Have you travelled so many miles to talk only about business? HUGH MURRAY. Yes. LESLIE. Ah, be a friend first and let the business wait. HUGH MURRAY. I leave here to-night, and I must speak to Mr. Renshaw without delay. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. I can give you only five minutes. Leslie. LESLIE. I shall make a nosegay for my dear, and bring it when the five minutes are gone. [_Tenderly to DUNSTAN._] You have made me forget there is anything in the world called Business. [_She follows WILFRID down the garden steps. DUNSTAN watches her for a moment, then faces HUGH._] DUNSTAN RENSHAW. Do you come here, may I ask, to take up our acquaintance at the point where it was broken a month ago? HUGH MURRAY. I regret that I must do so. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. As a friend--or as an enemy? HUGH MURRAY. Neither--as a man who feels he has a duty to follow, and who will follow it. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. What do you consider your duty? HUGH MURRAY. This. There is no need to remind you of my knowledge of the doings of Mr. Lawrence Kenward. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. Murray! HUGH MURRAY. I did not use your name. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. You know the poor creature who--you know her? HUGH MURRAY. She came to me, in ignorance of my association with you, on the very day, at the very moment, of your marriage. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. What did she want of you? HUGH MURRAY. My aid in searching for her betrayer. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. Don’t tell me she is the girl whom my wife and her brother encountered at the railway station in London! HUGH MURRAY. She is the girl. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. That’s fatality--fatality. HUGH MURRAY. Before she had been with me ten minutes, I discovered the actual identity of the man Kenward. DUNSTAN RENSHAW. Oh!
