MISS FARREN. I have not!
MRS. WESTERN. You can tell that to the magistrate—[She turns to HARVEY] and you too, if you like. [She moves to the bell.
JUDGE. [Putting out a hand to stop her.] Alice—
MRS. WESTERN. Leave me alone, Tom. I know what I'm doing. I'll send for a policeman.
HARVEY. [Imploringly.] Alice, Alice—
MRS. WESTERN. [Pausing, with her hand on the bell.] I'll let the girl off, if you'll tell me the truth.
HARVEY. I have told you the truth.
MRS. WESTERN. You persist in this silly falsehood?
HARVEY. It isn't—I tell you it isn't!
MRS. WESTERN. Very well, then.
