All will be well!

[PIKE stands regarding ETHEL, who does not look up at him.]

PIKE

[gently]

I'm glad you've come, Miss Ethel. I've got something here I want to read to you.

ETHEL

[coldly]

I did not come to hear you read.

PIKE

When I got your letter at home I wrote to Jim Cooley, our vice-consul at London, to look up the records of these Hawcastle folks and write to me here about how they stand in their own community.
