AMONG AUDIENCE
DARIUS STARK
(After long, loud laughter)
You see, Pretoria? He got that help all right.
(Laughs)
He even knew where it all came from.
CECIL
(Hurries to Stark, and whispers)
Dad! That money was never used! I remember you allotted money for a house and "emergency relief" but you didn't tell me what it was all about. That's why I didn't bother you with the manager's report. Why didn't you tell me this was important? I merely filed that report like any routine report. The manager said he returned to the hut that night to see how things were going, and one of the old man's sons almost killed him. The old man hadn't eaten for a long time, and that food was much too rich for him. The way his system was, it may as well have been poison. I wish I hadn't filed that report, but I didn't know it was important. The old man died of the food.
