WILL. You've always been on the square with me, Laura. That's why I've liked you a lot better than the other women.

WILL. [Looking her straight in the eye.] That letter I dictated to you the day that you came back to me, and left it for you to mail—did you mail it?
LAURA. Yes.
WILL. You're quite sure?
LAURA. Yes, I'm quite sure. I wouldn't say so if I wasn't.
WILL. And you didn't know Madison was coming East until you read about it in that newspaper?
