ZACK. I haven't done anything and nobody will let me tell you and——
MRS. MUNNING. Your cousin doesn't want to hear about that, Zack.
ZACK. You're trying to stop her hearing and I'm going to tell her now. She's got it all so wrong. I know I'm not an angel in trousers, but I'm not a wrong 'un neither, and——
MRS. MUNNING. That will do, Zack. You've said enough.
ZACK. You'll none of you be sorry when I'm dead.
VIRGINIA. I should be very sorry, Zack. What is it that you want to tell me?
ZACK. Mother won't let me speak.
VIRGINIA. I'm sure she will. She's leaving us together now, so that you may tell me what you want to say.
MRS. MUNNING. I doubt it's safe for you, Jenny. He's a bit beside himself.
VIRGINIA. It's quite the best way, aunt. To let him open his heart to me. He'll be much better after that.
