and a liar!

  GEORGE. He was right!

  ELEANOR. No! I don't understand you!

  GEORGE. Your brother understands - and

I'm giving up all the things it seemed to me I

  ELEANOR. Not because, - but, of course, if

  ELEANOR. You are! I know you are!

  GEORGE. No! I've lied and tricked and

cheated in business, and I've got to pay for it!

  ELEANOR. And all this you did deliberately
