Olivia. Oh!

George (rising and crossing below Olivia to C.). That this should happen to us!

(Olivia works in silence. Then she shakes out her curtains.)

Olivia (looking at them). I do hope Jacko will like these.

George (turning and seeing curtains). What! You——(Going up to her quickly and taking her by the hands raises her from the settee.) Olivia, Olivia, have you no heart?

Olivia. Ought you to talk like that to another man's wife?

George. Confound it, is this just a joke to you?

Olivia. You must forgive me, George; I am a little over-excited–at the thought of returning to Jacob.

George. Do you want to return to him?

Olivia. One wants to do what is right. In the eyes of–er–Heaven.
