ROSALIE. There was something else she had to do before she could ever do that. She had to have murder in her heart.
DONOHUE. Well?
ROSALIE (turns suddenly; seizes her daughter by the hand, turns her to him. ROSALIE stays between DONOHUE and HELEN). Look at 'er. Look in 'er eyes—look at the face of 'er. Is there murder there? 'Ave you not eyes in your 'ead.
(DUNN enters from L.)
DUNN. It's not on either of them.
DONOHUE. I know where it is. Tell the matron she'll find the knife on this girl.
ROSALIE (to DONOHUE C.). Inspector, I will tell to you anything I know, only keep your hands off my little girl. I did come 'ere like you say, and when I see my little girl I lose my 'ead. I tried to save 'er and I 'ave made it worse. You 'ave looked at 'er, the poor young thing that would not 'arm a fly, and you think she could do a thing like that.
DONOHUE. Yes.
ROSALIE (still crying bitterly). Then, Inspector Donohue, you are a damn fool, and with God's 'elp I will prove it.
Curtain.
