(After a moment's pause CROSBY exits L. and leaves door open. DONOHUE turns, closes door and turns sharply to HELEN. Crosses towards the table.)
Now then, young woman, let's hear what you've got to say.
HELEN. Nothing.
DONOHUE (C.). Nothing? I don't suppose it's necessary for me to tell you that you're under grave suspicion.
HELEN. No, I realize that.
DONOHUE. Now, the best way to help yourself if you're innocent is to be quite frank with me. (She simply looks at him, but does not speak.) Well?
HELEN. I've already told you that there is nothing that I can say.
DONOHUE. Someone has advised you not to answer me. Who was it? (There is a pause.) You'd better tell me. (Moves R.C.)
HELEN. I am not going to answer any of your questions.
DONOHUE. I told you that if you were innocent, nothing that you could say would hurt you. If you're guilty—well that's a different matter.
