Ste. How could she talk? She knew nothing.
(Lucy enters.)
Walter (l.). Funny how things get about, isn't it?
Lucy (up l.). Did you call me, father?
Ste. (to Walter, still ignoring Lucy). Get about? How many have you told?
Walter. Oh, I've told nobody. Secrets cease to be valuable when they're told, and I don't mind telling you this secret's going to be a valuable lever to me.
Ste. (to Lucy). You've been talking to him.
Lucy (up l.). Yes. I told him all you told me.
Ste. I didn't tell you anything.
Lucy. Oh, yes. You and Mr. Bamford. (Stephen turns on Bamford.)
