MRS. EDEN.

Morning, Sophy.

SOPHY.

Morning, Mrs. Eden.

[FRAYNE _and_ MRS. EDEN _go out._

QUEX.

[_Following them with_ MURIEL.] Good morning, Miss Fullgarney.

SOPHY.

[_Blankly._] G--good morning, my lord. [QUEX _and_ MURIEL _go out,
followed by_ MISS LIMBIRD. SOPHY _stands aghast, her bosom heaving._]
Oh! oh! oh! [_The door-gong sounds._ POLLITT _appears at the window._
SOPHY _is wringing her hands._] Oh--!

POLLITT.

[_Entering._] My love! what's the matter?

SOPHY.

She--she's left me, without a word!

POLLITT.

She?

SOPHY.

Muriel--without so much as wishing me good-morning. [_With a sob._] Oh!
when I've done what I can for everybody!

[_The_ porti�re _is pulled aside and_ MURIEL _returns, unaccompanied,
and comes to_ SOPHY'S _side swiftly._

MURIEL.

[_To_ SOPHY.] Forgive me. You did it for the best. [_Kissing her._] I'm
sorry--

SOPHY.

[_Throwing her arms round_ MURIEL'S _neck._] Oh! my darling--! [MURIEL
_runs out._ SOPHY _goes to_ POLLITT _and drops her head upon his breast,
restfully._] Ah! _that's_ all right.

[_The door-gong sounds finally._


THE END.
