MRS. TRENT (L.C.). No.
DONOHUE. Do you know whether this girl had written to him?
MRS. TRENT. I don't know anything about it.
WILLIAM (coming L. of MRS. TRENT. CROSBY comes C.). But Nell didn't know Lee, and you did, Helen.
DONOHUE (still down R.). How about that, Mrs. Trent?
MRS. TRENT. I hadn't seen Mr. Lee for two or three years. He used to come here a good deal. He wanted to marry me, but I didn't like him. And I certainly never wrote him letters of any sort. That is all I can tell you.
DONOHUE. Thank you very much. That is all that I want to know.
WILLIAM (turning on his sister). You're lying to save yourself. You've got to tell the truth.
TRENT. She is telling you the truth.
WILLIAM. She's not.
