Scene—Same as First Act. Mrs. Grovenor, sitting on sofa, R. Alice, chair, L. Dr. Endicott, R., at table, discovered.
Mrs. G. Thank heaven, my husband is in his right mind once more, and after heaven we must thank you, doctor.
Dr. E. I have done all I could, and I am happy to have been so successful.
Mrs. G. But since he has recovered his senses, his business affairs are worrying him. Would it not be better to explain everything?
Dr. E. Yes, I think it will do to speak to-day, and, as a change of scene will be beneficial, get him up in his easy-chair and out here, if possible.
Mrs. G. And Eugene, that unhappy boy.
Dr. E. I doubt not this experience will be the needed one to arouse him to better things. You had best leave him to Kate.
Mrs. G. Yes, I suppose so. Alas! I fear I have been much to blame for what has happened. I was too ignorant and helpless to be a wise mother. Dear Kate, what should we have done without her? (Rising.) But I must now go to my husband, who needs me every moment. I will follow your directions, doctor. (Exit, L. 2 E.)
Dr. E. I am sorry to see you looking pale, Miss Alice, I hope you are not going to be ill also?
Alice. Oh, no! I have been anxious about father.
