Irene. You are trembling—there is some trouble?

Irene.

[Quietly to Leslie.] Yes—I’ve come to tell you. Janet, I am glad to see you almost well again. Don’t you believe me?

Janet Preece.

[Shrinking from her.] Yes—I—I am better.

Irene.

Ah, don’t be frightened of me—not of me! Janet!

[Janet looks at Irene, then goes to her.]

Irene.

[Kissing Janet.] Thank you. [Giving Leslie a letter.] A letter, Leslie.
