Look here! This poor child is a living sacrifice to a man whose history is a horrible chapter of dishonour. He is a man who preys upon the weak under the mask of a false name; who stabs but has not the mercy to kill; and who leaves his victims to bleed to death in their hearts, slowly but surely.
Mrs. Stonehay.
I always feared this was a worthless girl. But pray, what has her depravity to do with us?
Leslie.
Only this. Janet has just discovered the whereabouts of the man she has been seeking.
Mrs. Stonehay.
Really this is no concern of ours.
Leslie.
There you are mistaken, Mrs. Stonehay.
