Molly—Mother!
Mrs. Quinn—(Ignoring Quinn.) Sit down now, and I'll give ye a dish of tea.
Quinn—She'll not sit down in this house.
Mrs. Quinn—(Easily, tho her heart is beating rapidly.) Will she not? Here, take off yer hat and coat, and drink this while it's hot. I'll bring another cup for yer father.
(Exit to kitchen. Molly remains standing, and faces her father. She makes no attempt to remove her wraps.)
Molly—Won't you let me come back to you and mother? Won't you forgive me?
Quinn—(Slowly.) Why are ye so eager to be back?
Molly—I need you and mother, now I'm alone.
Quinn—(Quickly.) Alone? He's left ye, has he?
(Molly unable to answer for her tears, nods head.)
