_Mr. Quirke:_ Easy! It's easy to say let you make yourself easy.
_Hyacinth:_ I can tell you where it is.
_Mr. Quirke:_ Where what is?
_Hyacinth:_ The sheep you are fretting after.
_Mr. Quirke:_ What do you know about it?
_Hyacinth:_ I know everything about it.
_Mr. Quirke:_ I suppose the Sergeant told you?
_Hyacinth:_ He told me nothing.
_Mr. Quirke:_ I suppose the whole town knows it, so?
_Hyacinth:_ No one knows it, as yet.
_Mr. Quirke:_ And the Sergeant didn't see it?
_Hyacinth:_ No one saw it or brought it away but myself.
_Mr. Quirke:_ Where did you put it at all?
_Hyacinth:_ In the ditch behind the church wall. In among the nettles it is. Look at the way they have me stung. (_Holds out hands._)
_Mr. Quirke:_ In the ditch! The best hiding place in the town.
_Hyacinth:_ I never thought it would bring such great trouble upon you. You can't say anyway I did not tell you.
_Mr. Quirke:_ You yourself that brought it away and that hid it! I suppose it was coming in the train you got information about the message to the police.
_Hyacinth:_ What now do you say to me?
_Mr. Quirke:_ Say! I say I am as glad to hear what you said as if it was the Lord telling me I'd be in heaven this minute.
_Hyacinth:_ What are you going to do to me?
_Mr. Quirke:_ Do, is it? (_Grasps his hand._) Any earthly thing you would wish me to do, I will do it.
_Hyacinth:_ I suppose you will tell--
_Mr. Quirke:_ Tell! It's I that will tell when all is quiet. It is I will give you the good name through the town!
_Hyacinth:_ I don't well understand.
_Mr. Quirke:_ (_Embracing him._) The man that preserved me!
_Hyacinth:_ That preserved you?
_Mr. Quirke:_ That kept me from ruin!
_Hyacinth:_ From ruin?
_Mr. Quirke:_ That saved me from disgrace!
_Hyacinth:_ (_To Mrs. Delane._) What is he saying at all?
_Mr. Quirke:_ From the Inspector!
_Hyacinth:_ What is he talking about?
_Mr. Quirke:_ From the magistrates!
_Hyacinth:_ He is making some mistake.
_Mr. Quirke:_ From the Winter a.s.sizes!
_Hyacinth:_ Is he out of his wits?
_Mr. Quirke:_ Five years in gaol!
_Hyacinth:_ Hasn't he the queer talk?
_Mr. Quirke:_ The loss of the contract!
_Hyacinth:_ Are my own wits gone astray?
_Mr. Quirke:_ What way can I repay you?
_Hyacinth:_ (_Shouting._) I tell you I took the sheep--
_Mr. Quirke:_ You did, G.o.d reward you!
_Hyacinth:_ I stole away with it--
_Mr. Quirke:_ The blessing of the poor on you!
_Hyacinth:_ I put it out of sight--
_Mr. Quirke:_ The blessing of my five children--
_Hyacinth:_ I may as well say nothing--
_Mrs. Delane:_ Let you be quiet now, Quirke. Here's the Sergeant coming to search the shop--
(_Sergeant comes in: Quirke leaves go of Halvey, who arranges his hat, etc._)
