Regina tells to Ben (although signalling Horace) following things to make Horace feel as though he deserves a portion of the credit.

Explanation:

The excerpt is from "The Little Foxes" written by Lillian Hellman. In the above passage, Regina talks to Ben and Horace. Regina indirectly tries to convey Horace while talking to Ben that Horace had not responded to Ben's letter due to his feeling that Ben was not offering him in adequate proportions.

However, being Horace wife and in need of his money, she made it clear to Ben the importance of Horace and his contribution. Indirectly it was Regina's attempt at influencing Horace to pour his money in the business and making him feel that he too deserved a portion of the credit.
