GEORGIANA. But--
COAST. [_Interrupting her._] Oh, don't worry--he can't act without my
advice--and that's just the kind of a man I want! I don't want none of
these here fellers who's got judgment o' their own! Steve's knows he's a
fool in business, and he'll obey me implicitly.
GEORGIANA. [_Sitting by the table Left._] And Steve is willing to accept
from _you_--
COAST. [_Interrupting._] Oh, I guess he considers I _owe_ him that much
anyway.
GEORGIANA. You couldn't repay what you owe Steve.
COAST. That's how _you_ look at it! Then there's Coleman's money.
GEORGIANA. Don't speak about that, please.
COAST. Why not? he's left it to you, everybody knows it, and it must be
a good deal.
GEORGIANA. I can't and won't discuss that with you.
COAST. [_Goes to_ GEORGIANA.] I wish you didn't feel so hard against me,
Georgy!
GEORGIANA. To tell you the truth, Sam, I don't think I feel anything
about you.
COAST. Oh, Lord, that's worse! I guess I won't stop at Denver,--I'll go
away out to the mine for a while and join father.--Good-by.
GEORGIANA. Good-by.
[_Rises._
COAST. I swore off a lot of things when I thought I was going to get
you, Georgiana!
GEORGIANA.
