HELEN. Yes.
WILLIAM. I won't have this.
CROSBY. I'm afraid you must, Will. (He turns again to HELEN.) We want to help you, so, my dear, you must be perfectly frank with us. Inspector Donohue says he can prove that you went to that man's rooms. Is that true?
HELEN (slowly and reluctantly). Yes.
(DONOHUE gives a short laugh. Sits back of table R.)
ROSALIE (R. of chesterfield). And what if she did? She had a good errand. What did you go for, darling?
HELEN. I can't tell you.
WILLIAM. Dear, you must tell us. (She looks at him suddenly. He comes over and kneels beside her and talks to her as if to a little child.) My dear, it isn't that we don't trust you. Surely you know how we all love you? But we must know the truth—because we have to show him how wrong he is.
DONOHUE (seated back of table R.). Yes, and I'm waiting to be shown.
WILLIAM (kneeling L. of HELEN). Why did you go to Spencer Lee?
