and thought for you with this head。 And you think to steal a
march upon a man like me�拭 �I see you through and through ��I know
you like the clock�В察�I read your thoughts like print。 Brodie��
you thought�察�has money�察�and won't do the job。 Therefore�察�you
thought�察�we must rook him to the heart。 And therefore�察�you put
up your idiot cockney。 And now you come round�察�and dictate�察�and
think sure of your Excise�拭 �Sure�拭 �Are you sure I'll let you pack
with a whole skin�拭 �By my soul�察�but I've a mind to pistol you

here I am�察�I ses�察�and here I mean to stick。 That's my motto。
Who the devil are you to do the high and mighty�拭 �You make all

cross�察�you order us out of the ken�拭 �Muck� �That's wot I think of
you。 Muck� �Don't you get coming the nob over me�察�Mr。 Deacon
Brodie�察�or I'll smash you。
BRODIE。 You will��

and the rope in the open street�拭 �Is that plain�拭 �If it ain't��
you let me know�察�and I'll spit it out so as it'll raise the roof
off this 'ere ken。 Plain� �I'm that cove's master�察�and I'll make
it plain enough for him。
BRODIE。 What do you want of me��
MOORE。 Wot do I want of you�拭 �Now you speak sense。 Leslie's is
wot I want of you。 The Excise is wot I want of you。 Leslie's
to´night and the Excise to´morrow。 That's wot I want of you�察�and
wot I thundering well mean to get。

SMITH ��BETWEEN THEM��。 Deacon�察�Deacon� � Badger�察�are you mad��
MOORE。 Muck� �That's my motto。 Wot I ses is�察�has he got his
orders or has he not�拭 �That's wot's the matter with him。
SMITH。 Deacon�察�half a tick。 Humphrey�察�I'm only a light weight�察�
and you fight at twelve stone ten�察�but I'm damned if I'm going to
stand still and see you hitting a pal when he's down。
MOORE。 Muck� �That's wot I think of you。
SMITH。 He's a cut above us�察�ain't he�拭 �He never sold his
backers�察�did he�拭 �We couldn't have done without him�察�could we�拭�
You dry up about his old man�察�and his sister�察�and don't go on
hitting a pal when he's knocked out of time and cannot hit back��

you came to say�察�you must go。 I have business here�察�but two
hours hence I am at your 。。。 orders。 Where shall I await you��

BRODIE。 Your will is my law。
MOORE。 That's good enough。 Now�察�Dock。
SMITH。 Bye´bye�察�my William。 Don't forget。
SCENE IX
BRODIE。 Trust me。 No man forgets his vice�察�you dogs�察�or
forgives it either。 It must be done�此 �Leslie's to´night and the
Excise to´morrow。 It shall be done。 This settles it。 They used
to fetch and carry for me�察�and now 。 。 。 I've licked their boots��
have I�拭 �I'm their man�察�their tool�察�their chattel。 It's the
bottom rung of the ladder of shame。 I sound with my foot�察�and
there's nothing underneath but the black emptiness of damnation。
Ah�察�Deacon�察�Deacon�察�and so this is where you've been travelling
all these years�察�and it's for this that you learned French� �The
gallows 。 。 。 God help me�察�it begins to dog me like my shadow。
THERE'S a step to take� �And the jerk upon your spine� �How's a
man to die with a night´cap on�拭 �I've done with this。 Over
yonder�察�across the great ocean�察�is a new land�察�with new
characters�察�and perhaps new lives。 The sun shines�察�and the bells
ring�察�and it's a place where men live gladly�察�and the Deacon
himself can walk without terror�察�and begin again like a new´born
child。 It must be good to see day again and not to fear�察�it must
be good to be one's self with all men。 Happy like a child�察�wise
like a man�察�free like God's angels 。 。 。 should I work these
hands off and eat crusts�察�there were a life to make me young and
good again。 And it's only over the sea� �O man�察�you have been
blind�察�and now your eyes are opened。 It was half a life's
nightmare�察�and now you are awake。 Up�察�Deacon�察�up�察�it's hope
that's at the window� �Mary� �Mary� �Mary��

run down�察�trust him�察�he shall turn a corner yet�察�and leave you
snarling� �And you�察�Poll�察�you。 I've done nothing for you yet��

MARY。 He is quite happy�察�Will�察�and so am I 。。。 so am I。
BRODIE。 Hear me�察�Mary。 This is a big moment in our two lives。
I swear to you by the father here between us that it shall not be
fault of mine if this thing fails�察�if this ship founders you have
set your hopes in。 I swear it by our father�察�I swear it by God's
judgments。
MARY。 I want no oaths�察�Will。
BRODIE。 No�察�but I do。 And prayers�察�Mary�察�prayers。 Pray night
and day upon your knees。 I must move mountains。
