[To Aubrey, in a faint voice.] Papa, Mrs. Cortelyon has been so very, very kind to me, but I—I have come home.
[She goes out.
Aubrey.
Come home! [To Mrs. Cortelyon.] Ellean returns to us, then?
Mrs. Cortelyon.
That's the very point I put to you in my letters, and you oblige me to travel from Paris to Willowmere on a warm day to settle it. I think perhaps it's right that Ellean should be with you just now, although I—— My dear friend, circumstances are a little altered.
Aubrey.
Alice, you're in some trouble.
Mrs. Cortelyon.
