Garden。�А �What's about the figure��
JEAN。 It's paid for。 Ye can sweir to that。
HUNT。 Yes�察�my dear�察�and so is King George's crown�察�but I don't
know what it cost�察�and I don't know where the blunt came from to
pay for it。
JEAN。 I'm thinking ye'll be a vera clever gentleman。
HUNT。 So I am�察�my dear�察�and I like you none the worse for being
artful yourself。 But between friends now�察�and speaking as a
family man ´
JEAN。 I'll be wishin' ye a fine nicht。 ��CURTSIES AND GOES OUT。��

TABLEAU III。 MOTHER CLARKE'S
SCENE I
The Stage represents a room of coarse and sordid appearance�此 �
settles�察�spittoons�察�etc。�察�sanded floor。 A large table at back�察�
where AINSLIE�察�HAMILTON�察�and others are playing cards and
quarrelling。 In front�察�L。 and R。 smaller tables�察�at one of which
are BRODIE and MOORE�察�drinking。 MRS。 CLARKE and women serving。
MOORE。 You've got the devil's own luck�察�Deacon�察�that's what
you've got。
BRODIE。 Luck� �Don't talk of luck to a man like me� �Why not say
I've the devil's own judgment�拭 �Men of my stamp don't risk ´ they
plan�察�Badger�察�they plan�察�and leave chance to such cattle as you
��and Jingling Geordie。 They make opportunities before they take
them�А�
MOORE。 You're artful�察�ain't you��
BRODIE。 Should I be here else�拭 �When I leave my house I leave an
ALIBI behind me。 I'm ill ´ ill with a jumping headache�察�and the
fiend's own temper。 I'm sick in bed this minute�察�and they're all
going about with the fear of death on them lest they should
disturb the poor sick Deacon。 ��My bedroom door is barred and
bolted like the bank ´ you remember� � and all the while the
window's open�察�and the Deacon's over the hills and far away。
What do you think of me�殖�
MOORE。 I've seen your sort before�察�I have。
BRODIE。 Not you。 As for Leslie's ´
MOORE。 That was a nick above you。
BRODIE。 Ay was it。 He wellnigh took me red´handed�察�and that was
better luck than I deserved。 If I'd not been drunk�察�and in my
tantrums�察�you'd never have got my hand within a thousand years of
such a job。
MOORE。 Why not�拭 �You're the King of the Cracksmen�察�ain't you��
BRODIE。 Why not� �He asks me why not� �Gods�察�what a brain it is� �
Hark ye�察�Badger�察�it's all very well to be King of the Cracksmen��
as you call it�察�but however respectable he may have the
misfortune to be�察�one's friend is one's friend�察�and as such must
be severely let alone。 What� �shall there be no more honour among
thieves than there is honesty among politicians�拭 �Why�察�man�察�if
under heaven there were but one poor lock unpicked�察�and that the
lock of one whose claret you've drunk�察�and who has babbled of
woman across your own mahogany ´ that lock�察�sir�察�were entirely
sacred。 Sacred as the Kirk of Scotland�察�sacred as King George
upon his throne�察�sacred as the memory of Bruce and Bannockburn。
MOORE。 Oh�察�rot� �I ain't a parson�察�I ain't�察�I never had no
college education。 Business is business。 That's wot's the
matter with me。
BRODIE。 Ay�察�so we said when you lost that fight with Newcastle
Jemmy�察�and sent us all home poor men。 That was a nick above YOU。
MOORE。 Newcastle Jemmy� �Muck�此 �that's my opinion of him�此 �muck。
I'll mop the floor up with him any day�察�if so be as you or any on
'em 'll make it worth my while。 If not�察�muck� �That's my motto。
Wot I now ses is�察�about that 'ere crib at Leslie's�察�wos I right��
I ses�拭�or wos I wrong�拭 �That's wot's the matter with you。
BRODIE。 You are both right and wrong。 You dared me to do it。 I
was drunk�察�I was upon my mettle�察�and I as good as did it。 More
than that�察�black´guardly as it was�察�I enjoyed the doing。 He is
my friend。 He had dined with me that day�察�and I felt like a man
in a story。 I climbed his wall�察�I crawled along his pantry roof��
I mounted his window´sill。 That one turn of my wrist ´ you know
it I ´ and the casement was open。 It was as dark as the pit�察�and
I thought I'd won my wager�察�when�察�phewt� �down went something
inside�察�and down went somebody with it。 I made one leap�察�and was
off like a rocket。 It was my poor friend in person�察�and if he'd
caught and passed me on to the watchman under the window�察�I
should have felt no viler rogue than I feel just now。
MOORE。 I s'pose he knows you pretty well by this time��
BRODIE。 'Tis the worst of friendship。 Here�察�Kirsty�察�fill these
glasses。 Moore�察�here's better luck ´ and a more honourable
plant� � next time。
MOORE。 Deacon�察�I looks towards you。 But it looks thundering
like rotten eggs�察�don't it��
BRODIE。 I think not。 I was masked�察�for one thing�察�and for
another I was as quick as lightning。 He suspects me so little
that he dined with me this very afternoon。
MOORE。 Anyway�察�you ain't game to try it on again�察�I'll lay odds
on that。 Once bit�察�twice shy。 That's your motto。
BRODIE。 Right again。 I'll put my ALIBI to a better use。 And�察�
Badger�察�one word in your ear�此 �there's no Newcastle Jemmy about
ME。 Drop the subject�察�and for good�察�or I shall drop you。 ��HE
RISES�察�AND WALKS BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS�察�A LITTLE UNSTEADILY。
THEN RETURNS�察�AND SITS L。�察�AS BEFORE。��
SCENE II

AINSLIE。 Hoot�察�man�察�dinna blame the cairts。
MOORE。 Look here�察�Deacon�察�I mean business�察�I do。 ��HUNT LOOKS UP
AT THE NAME OF 'DEACON。'��
BRODIE。 Gad�察�Badger�察�I never meet you that you do not。 ��You
have a set of the most commercial intentions�。А �You make me
blush。
MOORE。 That's all blazing fine�察�that is� �But wot I ses is�察�wot
about the chips�拭 �That's what I ses。 I'm after that thundering
old Excise Office�察�I am。 That's my motto。
BRODIE。 'Tis a very good motto�察�and at your lips�察�Badger�察�it
kind of warms my heart。 But it's not mine。
MOORE。 Muck� �why not��
BRODIE。 'Tis too big and too dangerous。 I shirk King George�察�he
has a fat pocket�察�but he has a long arm。 ��You pilfer sixpence
from him�察�and it's three hundred reward for you�察�and a hue and
cry from Tophet to the stars。�А �It ceases to be business�察�it
turns politics�察�and I'm not a politician�察�Mr。 Moore。 ��RISING。��
I'm only Deacon Brodie。
MOORE。 All right。 I can wait。
BRODIE ��SEEING HUNT��。 Ha�察�a new face�察 � and with a patch� �
��There's nothing under heaven I like so dearly as a new face with
a patch。�А �Who the devil�察�sir�察�are you that own it�拭 �And where
did you get it�拭 �And how much will you take for it second´hand��
