Austin. I am sure the one hope you have of forgiveness is in your manliness of going to her as you are doing and telling her yourself all the truth!

Geoffrey. And that, like everything else, I owe to you.

Austin. No, to Jinny! Good luck!

[He shakes Geoffrey's hand and Geoffrey goes out Right.

Austin. [Goes to the door Left, opens it, and calls to Jinny, in the next room.] Jinny, Geoffrey's gone,—what are you doing?

Jinny. [Answers in a very little staccato voice.] Waiting till you should have the leisure to receive me!

Austin. Come along!

[Leaves the doorway.

[Jinny enters Left and stands in the doorway.

Jinny. [With affected nonchalance.] I didn't care to go downstairs for dinner, so I have had a tray up here. Maggie brought up something for you, too; would you like it now?
