trebell. I'll see you down.

lucy. What waste of time for you. I know how the door opens.

As she goes out walter kent is on the way to his room. The two nod to each other like old friends. trebell turns away with something of a sigh.

kent. Just come?

lucy. Just going.

kent. I'll see you at dinner.

lucy. Oh, are you to be here? . . that's nice.

lucy departs as purposefully as she came. kent hurries to trebell, whose thoughts are away again by now.

kent. I haven't been long there and back, have I? The Bishop gave me these letters for you. He hasn't answered the last . . but I've his notes of what he means to say. He'd like them back to-night. He was just going out. I've one or two notes of what Evans said. Bit of a charlatan, don't you think?

trebell. Evans?
