  GEORGE. I tell you it can't be! Will you take

my word, Hannock

  HANNOCiK. No!

                              [Laughs loudly.

  GEORGE. Then, I must go ahead without you!

You're dismissed. Do you hear You're dis-

charged from my employ!

  HANNOCK. [Getting very angry, but controlled.]

You take care!

  GEORGE. [Continues   determinedly.]  You'll

leave this house to-day. I'll give you an hour

to pack up and get out, and you'll never lay your

eyes on this girl again.

  CICELY. If he goes now, I'll go with him.

I'm his wife!

  GEORGE. You won't go with him!

  HANNOCK. Who'll prevent her

  GEORGE. I w'll!
