TIMBRELL. To you or to fifty others.
MRS. TIMBRELL. No—no.
LEONARD. Oh! he doesn’t understand.
TIMBRELL. Understand! I understand that this is an abandoned woman. You are well rid of her. I’ve been mistaken. Yes, I made a mistake. She has been treated with some magnanimity. [Snappishly to LEONARD.] Not by you. Let her go, then, to her life of infamy.
MRS. TIMBRELL. For shame!
TIMBRELL. Silence!
MARY. It’s no good my talking here but I’d like you to understand ma’am.
MRS. TIMBRELL. I do understand.
SHEILA. Don’t go.
