Leslie.

Janet Preece.

[Irresolutely.] You’ll let me look at his face once more for the last time? [Leslie nods her head. Looking at Wilfrid.] Good-bye. [To Leslie.] He need never know.

[She slowly bends over Wilfrid and kisses him upon the forehead. As she draws back behind the chair Wilfrid opens his eyes and sees Leslie standing before him.]

Wilfrid Brudenell.

Leslie, dear, I was dreaming and you woke me with your kiss. [Janet steals out.] What’s that? [Hugh enters, carrying a basket of fruit.] Oh, it’s Murray.

Leslie.
