ROSS: Bosie, you realize I do have to speak to you.

BOSIE: I know you must speak to me. You have adopted your Headmaster’s tone. “Come into my study”!

ROSS: Only because what I must say is important. We have little time. It is vital. (Ross pauses) You know I have been to his house.

BOSIE: Yes.

[... … …]

ROSS: Perhaps. But just at this moment, it is hardly the point. Your father’s solicitors have passed on the papers. We know this. We’ve been told this for sure. They were dispatched to the Attorney General over two hours ago.

(Ross has tried to calm him but Bosie seems to miss the point)

BOSIE: Oh Robbie, come on, why do you think I sent for my cousin? This is exactly what I forsaw!
