STEVEN. I'll double it for you! You get it for me, Moles, and I'll make
it into five or six thousand for you, sure!
MOLES. Thank you, sir!
STEVEN. [_Writes in note book._] I'll put in an order to buy for you the
first thing in the morning; and you have your money down at my office
by ten o'clock, can you?
MOLES. Yes, sir, I can get off in the morning. I can't thank you enough,
sir!
STEVEN. Oh, that's all right,--we'll be a rich household here before we
get through, Moles. They'll be telephoning us to please send in some
orders for champagne!
[_Puts note-book away._
MOLES. Oh, don't trouble about these bills, sir. I can hold off the
people a little longer, and I'll order the wine in another place.
STEVEN. That's a good boy, Moles, then I won't have to bother my sister.
MOLES. Yes, sir.
[_He goes out as_ GEORGIANA _and the children enter Left._
GEORGIANA. Here's papa! Come along, now, Steve, I've promised the
children a game of hide and go seek!
STEVEN. All right, I knew father wanted to do something very much,--only
couldn't think what. Of course, it was hide and seek!
GEORGIANA.
