MRS. BRAMSON: What does he want?
MRS. TERENCE: Better ask 'im. I know my conscience is clear; I don't know about other people's.
MRS. BRAMSON: But I've never had a policeman coming to see me before!
DORA runs in from the kitchen.
DORA (terrified): There's a man there! From the p'lice! 'E said something about the Tallboys! 'E—'e 'asn't come about me, 'as 'e?
MRS. TERENCE: Of course he 'asn't—
MRS. BRAMSON: He may have.
MRS. TERENCE: Don't frighten the girl; she's simple enough now.
MRS. BRAMSON (sharply); It's against the law, what she's done, isn't it? (To DORA) Go back in there till he sends for you.
DORA creeps back into the kitchen.
