frances. [Listlessly.] Does it matter why?
mrs. farrant. Need there be more suffering and reproaches? It's not as if even grief would do any good. [Suddenly with nervous caution.] Walter, you don't know, do you?
walter throws up his tear-marked face and a man's anger banishes the boyish grief.
walter. No, I don't know why he did it . . and I don't care. And grief is no use. I'm angry . . just angry at the waste of a good man. Look at the work undone . . think of it! Who is to do it! Oh . . the waste . . !
