WILLIAM (C). You don't believe——

DONOHUE. Not a word of it. Not one word.

ROSALIE. And why not?

DONOHUE. That I don't is sufficient. Her story is preposterous. Your daughter's—

WILLIAM. It is the truth.

DONOHUE. Do you expect me to believe for a minute that a man like Lee would threaten your daughter, and then when a total stranger comes to him and asks for the letters, give them up without a word? Why, no jury in the world would believe your story.

WILLIAM. Jury? You're not going to arrest her?

DONOHUE. She is arrested.

ROSALIE. You 'ave not proof.
