Mrs. Stonehay.
My dear, do remember my creed! Men and women are sent into the world to help each other. Unfortunately I can help nobody, but it is none the less the solemn duty of others to help me.
[Leslie, looking very bright and happy, runs up the steps, meets Irene and embraces her affectionately.]
Leslie.
Dear Irene!
Irene.
You remember me?
Leslie.
Remember you! You were kind to me at Helmstead.
