HELEN (sitting on chesterfield). You mustn't ask me that. I can't tell you.
CROSBY (still on chesterfield). But if you don't tell us, how can we help you?
HELEN. I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything.
CROSBY. We know that, my child. But why did you go? (HELEN does not answer.) Did you know Spencer Lee?
WILLIAM. Of course she didn't.
DONOHUE (seated back of table R.). Why don't she speak for herself?
WILLIAM. Because I'll speak for her.
CROSBY. Can't you answer even that question?
(HELEN shakes her head and makes a despairing gesture.)
WILLIAM. But, dear, don't you see what they'll think? Helen, you must tell me.
