Trelawny of The "Wells": A Comedietta in Four Acts

by Arthur Wing Pinero

Arthur.

Yes, sir.

Miss Gower.

Any other course would have been out of place.

Sir William.

And yet—[again extending a finger at Arthur] what is this that is reported to me?

Arthur.

I don't know, sir.

Sir William.

I hear that ye have on several occasions, at night, after having quitted this house with Captain and Mrs. De Foenix, been seen on the other side of the way, your back against the railings, gazing up at Miss Trelawny's window; and that you have remained in that position for a considerable space of time. Is this true, sir?
