Oh, no, no. But before I go I’ve got to ease my mind of something that you must listen to. It’s this. I’ve parted you from your husband. Haven’t I? Haven’t I?

Leslie.

Yes.

Janet Preece.

Well, then, its only just to him that you should know this. It’s I that tempted him, not he that led me on; and I’ve lied to you in letting you think the man was to blame instead of the woman. I’m worthless, part of the rubbish of the world, and was so before I met him, and he’s a better man than you think for. There!

Leslie.

Janet, do you think I don’t see through the falsehood you’re telling me?
