ROGER
What the deuce do _you_ know about them? What about one of them?
MARGARET
She cried. She said she knew it wasn't right, that he couldn't marry her,
but she did like him, and she had children of her own.... I'm sure she was
very tender to him.
ROGER
Who told you? Where did you see her?
MARGARET
_There._
ROGER
There! In my own house?
MARGARET
Yes.
ROGER
How did _she_ get there?
MARGARET
Your mother sent for her.
ROGER
My mother sent for her? Then she knew?
MARGARET
Yes. She knew everything.
ROGER
How?
MARGARET
_He_ told her--Arthur did.
ROGER
Good Lord! I never heard a word of it.
MARGARET
No. They were afraid--afraid you wouldn't understand.
ROGER
Afraid _I_ wouldn't understand? Why, _I_ understood only too well. It was
mother that wouldn't have understood. I'd have cut my hand off rather than
tell her.
MARGARET
Well, she did understand. She understood better than you did. She
understood that part of him hadn't grown up. He was like a boy. He just
walked into things....
ROGER
How did he ever come to tell _her_?
MARGARET
Once when he was sick. Your mother was taking care of him. He blurted it
all out, like a homesick boy.
ROGER
