LEILA— And she is now working out her sentence in Iowa.
QUEEN— Yes. I gave her the choice of States. I am sure I never intended that she should go and live under a culvert beneath the bank of an Iowa railway.
LEILA— It must be damp there, and her chest was always delicate.
QUEEN— Yes. An Iowa railway is hardly the place to send a delicate chest. Even an iron-bound trunk has no show on any other line than the Chicago & Alton. I do not understand why she went there.
ALL— How terrible; but, O Queen, forgive her.
