LAURA. No—no, I didn't know.
WILL. Have you heard from him?
LAURA. No—no—I haven't heard from him. Don't talk to me about this thing. Why can't you leave me alone? I'm miserable enough as it is. [Crossing to extreme right.
WILL. [Crossing to table.] But I've got to talk to you. Laura, you're lying to me.
LAURA. What! [She makes a valiant effort to become angry.
WILL. You're lying to me, and you've been lying to me, and I've trusted you. Show me that telegram!
LAURA. No.
WILL. [Going over towards her.] Show me that telegram!
[LAURA crosses up to doors leading into bedroom.
LAURA. [Tears telegram in half.] You've no right to ask me.
