Mr. Cheal.

[Cheal offers his arm to Leslie, who, as she takes it, looks appealingly at Hugh, but he will not notice her.]

Leslie.

[She leaves the room on Cheal’s arm, attended by Priscilla.]

Wilfrid Brudenell.

I say, we shan’t be long getting married. I wish you could detain the young lady till I return.

Hugh Murray.
