MARY. Am I?
GUENEVERE. One would think, after what happened—
MARY. That's just it, ma'am. If it had been anything else—But after what happened, I just want never to see him again. You see, ma'am, it was this way—
GUENEVERE. (gently) Is it necessary to tell me that, Mary? I know what happened.
MARY. But you don't, ma'am. That's just it. I've been trying to tell you what happened, ma'am.
GUENEVERE. Good heavens, was it so horrible! Well, go on, then. (She nerves herself to hear the worst.) What did happen?
MARY. Nothing, ma'am….
GUENEVERE. Nothing?
MARY. That's just it….
GUENEVERE. But I—I don't understand.
