GUY. Captain Lascelles has charge of all the prisoners till they are handed over to the civil authorities. If you wish to communicate with any of them, you must apply to him.
RUTH. But—Guy—they say the prisoners will be hanged.
GUY. It's more than likely.
RUTH. And my father——
GUY (rising and standing with hack to fire). Arson is a hanging matter, Ruth. If your father chose to be a riotous incendiary, he must pay the penalty.
RUTH (standing by table). Guy, don't you love me?
GUY. I have loved you, Ruth. I find you are the kind of woman men do love.
RUTH. What do you mean?
GUY. There was a man to-night, Ruth, upon the moors.
RUTH. That? But you know.
