Mary. She is looking at a map. Now she is speaking to my mother. She must be asking the way—
Welburn. Your mother will bring her in here, and I'm a dead man.
Mary. Yes—my mother is bringing her in.
[Enter Mrs Maitland and the Rector, with Mrs Welburn].
Mrs Maitland. Mary, I want the large scale map. This lady is asking the way to Camperton.
Mrs Welburn. Thank you very much. [She is tall and masculine looking, and speaks in a deep voice].
Mrs Welburn [looking at Welburn]. You have an invalid here?
Mrs Maitland. Yes, this poor gentleman fell from an aeroplane into our garden—at least he jumped from a parachute. He might have been killed.
Mrs Welburn. How much is he hurt?
Mrs Maitland. I don't think he is very much hurt, but he is suffering from shock and loss of memory, and ought to be kept absolutely quiet.
