Georgiana. [Almost whispers.] It means—?
Steven. [Striving to hide his own emotion and to encourage her.] The news is too meagre to be

Mrs. Carley. [In hall Left.] Georgiana! We must go.
Georgiana. [Starts. To Steven.] Don't let mother come in, please.
Louise. [Just outside the door.] Georgiana, we must go.
Georgiana. [To Steven.] Say I'm coming.
Steven. I can't leave you alone. [Going to the door.] Georgy's coming.
Louise. [Outside.] Good! Hurry!
