Warden. Not for a minute! Is Miss Hunter suspicious?
Mason. Yes. Does Sterling realize that to-morrow he will most probably be a ruined cheat?
Warden. Very likely.
Mason. If he made up his mind to-night it was all up with him, he might do—what?
Warden. Run away with whatever money he has left, or kill himself. I don't know if he's enough of a coward for that or not. There's one hold on him—he loves his wife.
Mason. Which will make him all the more ashamed of discovery. Do you believe she suspects?
Warden. Not a bit. She loves him too dearly.
Mason. Can we do anything?
Warden. Nothing but watch him closely till the people go. Then force him to make a clean breast of it, so we can all know where we stand; how we can best protect his aunt from ruin and his wife and boy from public disgrace.
Mason. He is watching us.
