He has not my sense to be giving
attention
to what you will say.
Yeats
That is no way to be speaking to me. I am head of this business.
Nephew, or no nephew, I will have no one come cold or unwilling to the
work.
MARTIN.
I had better go; I am of no use to you. I am going--I must be alone--I
will forget if I am not alone. Give me what is left of my money and I
will go out of this.
THOMAS.
[_Opening a press and taking out a bag and throwing it
to him. _]
There is what is left of your money! The rest of it you have spent on
the coach. If you want to go, go, and I will not have to be annoyed
with you from this out.
ANDREW.
Come now with me, Thomas. The boy is foolish, but it will soon pass
over.
He has not my sense to be giving attention to what you will say.
Come along now, leave him for awhile; leave him to me I say, it is I
will get inside his mind.
[_He leads THOMAS out. MARTIN bangs door angrily after
them and sits down, taking up lion and unicorn. _
MARTIN.
I think it was some shining thing I saw. What was it?
ANDREW.
[_Opening door and putting in his head. _]
Listen to me, Martin.
MARTIN.
Go away, no more talking; leave me alone.
ANDREW.
O, but wait. I understand you. Thomas doesn't understand your thoughts,
but I understand them.
