Denham.

I have about ten minutes' work on the background—the figures are all right. I'll bring it round just now.

Fitzgerald.

All right. Good-bye. (Shakes hands, and exit.)

Denham.

Stay here, Constance. I'll bring the child to you.

(Exit, following Fitzgerald.)

Mrs. Denham.

Undine, my little Undine! Have I been a bad mother to you? And I have tried to do right. Oh, how I have tried! All in vain—all in vain. (Paces up and down, then sits listlessly on the sofa.) Utter wreck! Utter wreck! Utter failure in everything!

(Re-enter Denham, with Undine. Mrs. Denham starts up.)
