Stonor. No doubt you've forgotten them, since Lady John tells me you wouldn't remember my existence once a year if the newspapers didn't——
Miss L. Ah, you minded that!
Stonor (with manly spirit). I minded your giving false impressions. (She is about to speak, he advances on her.) Do you deny that you returned my letters unopened?
Miss L. (quietly). No.
Stonor. Do you deny that you refused to see me—and that, when I persisted, you vanished?
Miss L. I don't deny any of those things.
Stonor. Why, I had no trace of you for years!
Miss L. I suppose not.
Stonor. Very well, then. What could I do?
