Monroe.
I'm sorry. I was misinformed . . . I apologize.

Giles.
[Who has been walking restlessly to and fro down r.] Wait a minute, wait a minute! [They all stop and turn. Jefferson at door, Monroe following. Hamilton c. and Jay c. to l. Up stage.] I don't want to speak before Mrs. Hamilton, but this thing hasn't been brought to a satisfactory conclusion.

Jefferson.

Jay.
Mr. Hamilton has met you fairly and straightforwardly.
