BISHOP. I'll leave this check with you, Laura. Give it to him when he--when he is himself again. [At this KEN picks up his hat and walks out without a word. The two look unhappily after him. BISHOP, shaken.] That boy--that sane youth ... What's happened to him?
LAURA. [With difficulty.] He wants to break our engagement.
BISHOP. Ah! That's the trouble then. You two have quarrelled.
LAURA. He doesn't need me. I don't mean anything to him....
BISHOP. But of course you do.--There, Laura, there!
LAURA. No. He doesn't. I feel it.
BISHOP. Why, for years you've meant everything to him. He planned to marry you as soon as he graduated. ...
LAURA. Oh, he's so muddled--he's so muddled!
BISHOP. I know how you feel, my dear, but lovers' quarrels ...
LAURA. It's not a lovers' quarrel. Oh, don't you understand? His morale's all shot.
