Pindar accepts the place, you can't go with him,--you
will have to find some other position. Mr. Pindar is firm about that,

He's the only man in Foxon Falls who knows what kind of a world we're
going to live in from now on. Why? Because he's a scientist, because

why we do it.

That's the reason I try not to blame you for being hard--you can't
understand a girl like me. You can't understand George.
AUGUSTA (white). We'll leave my son out of the conversation, if you
please. We were talking of Dr. Pindar. You seem to have some
consideration for him, at least.
MINNIE. I'd go to the electric chair for him!
AUGUSTA. I'm not asking you to do that.
MINNIE. You want me to go away and get another place.
