Rh [Astonished.] Money? But—why did you come to me?

[Innocently.] Why, I'm an American. I'm in need of money. I thought it the place of the Secretary of the Treasury of my own country to help me.

[Turning away for a moment amused.] But, my child, I have no money. Why don't you go to Robert Livingston? He's in Philadelphia now.

[With a quick look away.] Oh, is he? But my people are the Henry Livingstons.

Oh!

[Quickly.] My father was in the Commissary Department during the war.

Was he?

Yes. Mr. Lewis, his name was.

[Interestedly.] Well, now, what do you want this money for?

[With a faltering voice.] I want to run away.
