HELEN
[In a commanding voice.] The maid shall stay for all that!
MRS. KRAUSE
Wench!
HELEN
Good! Then I'll tell father that you spend your nights just the same way with William Kahl.
MRS. KRAUSE
[Strikes her full in the face.] There you got a reminder!
HELEN
[Deathly pale, but even more firmly.] And I say the maid shall stay! Otherwise I'll make it known—you … with William Kahl … your cousin, my betrothed … I'll tell the whole world.
