MRS. CURTIS (after a moment, during which her inward struggle prevents her from replying)

Oh—oh, no! I’m so sorry to have disturbed you! (Her voice threatens to break and she goes out hurriedly, at the left.)

JESSIE (staring after her)

RUPERT

JESSIE (turning to him eagerly)

Yes, darling—

RUPERT (looking over her shoulder)
