MASON (down R.). I suppose it's going to be difficult for you to get results if we are all so antagonistic, Madame la Grange?
(MISS EASTWOOD goes up L.C.)
ROSALIE. It is, sir, and it is not. If there is any who wants to communicate with any 'ere, maybe they can reach us. I do not know. I do not understand you. I showed you all the tricks; would I have done that, if I wanted to—to—fool you? Certainly I would not. Then why will you not believe that I am 'onest?
WALES (down L.). I'm sure Madame la Grange is perfectly honest. We've made certain stipulations to which she has agreed. I think we've discussed matters enough already. We're ready if you are, Madame la Grange.
ROSALIE. I am ready.
(CROSBY looks at window fastenings R.)
MRS. CROSBY (seated at table over R.). Do you know, I don't believe it will be necessary to subject Madame la Grange to being searched. I'm quite sure we can spare her that indignity.
ROSALIE. I do not mind if you fine ladies will not be shocked at seeing my plain lingerie.
(WALES moves up L. General laugh. Miss ERSKINE joins WILLIAM and HELEN R.C.)
MRS. CROSBY (moving to L. of ROSALIE C.). Come with me then, please. I'm sure we won't be shocked. (Aside to ROSALIE.) I wear that kind myself.
