(Margaret draws quickly away from him.) (Enter Man-servant at right rear.)
Margaret
Send Linda to me.
(Exit Man-servant.)
Knox
What are you doing?
Margaret
(Sitting down.) I am going to send Linda for them. They are still in my father's house, hidden, of all places, behind Lincoln's portrait. He will guard them safely, I know.
Knox
(With fervor.) Margaret! Margaret! Don't send for them. Let them go. I don't want them.
