[_Panting._] Oh! oh! [BASTLING, _indistinctly seen through the muslin
blinds, appears at the window. He raps gently upon the window frame._
SOPHY _glances at the window._] Eh--? [_Under her breath._] Oh! [_She
goes swiftly to_ QUEX _and_ FRAYNE, _seizes them by the arms, and
pushes them towards the door in the partition, saying agitatedly._] Wait
there! don't come out, or make a noise--
QUEX.
What are you up to now?
SOPHY.
Stay here till I find out what's happened. Oh, I'll do what I can for
you!
[_They enter the private room and she closes the door. Then she returns
to the window, unfastens it, and retreats._ BASTLING _pushes open the
window and comes in._
BASTLING.
[_Advancing to her excitedly._] Ah, Sophy! [_Looking round._] Any one
about?
SOPHY.
[_Pointing to the left._] All my girls are in there. Where is she?
BASTLING.
Next door. She's sitting down, calming herself--having her cry out.
SOPHY.
Crying!
BASTLING.
She's all right--awfully happy. I told her I'd come and tell you.
SOPHY.
Tell me--!
BASTLING.
It's settled.
SOPHY.
Settled!
BASTLING.
She's mine, Sophy.
SOPHY.
[_With a gasp._] Yours!
BASTLING.
We're going to be married at once--next week. We shall need your help
still. Of course, it must be a secret marriage. She will follow me out
by-and-by.
SOPHY.
[_Nodding, dully._] Oh, yes.
BASTLING.
Why, aren't you glad about it? [_Smilingly._] Don't you congratulate us?
SOPHY.
C--certainly.
BASTLING.
