Kate. Please ask Dr. Endicott to come here.
Jen. Yes'm. (Aside.) They two would make another nice equal-rights couple. (Exit, C.)
Kate. What shall I say to him? Oh! if they could see me tremble, they would no longer call me "strong-minded."
(Enter Dr. Endicott, C.)
Dr. E. You sent for me, Kate? At last we meet alone!
Kate. Yes, I sent for you to say, forgive me!
Dr. E. Forgive you! For refusing me an explanation, do you mean?
Kate. For ever having doubted you. Oh! how can I say how bitterly I have wronged you?
Dr. E. Wronged me? and how? Do not fear: tell me all. Whatever it may be, it is forgiven.
Kate. I doubted you. It seems impossible now that I could have done so, but I did; circumstances caused me to lay the wrong-doing of another at your door.
