Hamilton.
But I think we ought to find no difficulty in reaching an agreement.
Monroe.
Now, that's talking sense.
[Schuyler returns and lingers in front of open window with his ear obviously turned to catch the conversation. He is not seen by the others.
Jefferson.
I am pleased to find that you are willing to meet us in the matter.
Hamilton.
We should have no difficulty, because, to me—and surely to all who have gone into the matter as deeply and seriously as we have—there can be only one possible location for the Capital.
Monroe.
And that is?
Hamilton.
Albany. [A distinct ejaculation is heard from Schuyler outside. He disappears to l.] Excuse me. I thought I heard my father-in-law calling.
[Goes to window and closes it.
Jefferson.
Albany!
Monroe.
That old Dutch town!
Jefferson.
And why Albany?
