MICH. You’ve never allowed me to forget it for a single moment. Every time you’ve spoken to me, or looked at me, or crossed the room, or passed the window, every time I’ve heard your step on the stairs, or your voice speaking to the servants, you’ve accused me. If you had been in my place I would have been very kind to you, Andrew.

ANDR. How did you treat my girl?

MICH. I did what I thought was best for her soul.

ANDR. Then why don’t you do what is best for your own soul?

MICH. I shall.

(ANDREW looks at MICHAEL in startled inquiry.)

Enter by transept DOCWRAY and SIR LYOLF. SIR LYOLF is in evening dress under summer overcoat. DOCWRAY points out the decorations to SIR LYOLF.

ANDR. Why have you sent for Rose to come back to Cleveheddon?

MICH. I wish her to be present at the services to-morrow. She is almost due. Go to the station and meet her. Bring her to me here.
