MATT
Ellen!
She shrinks back.
ELLEN
It's my father I came to speak to.
MURTAGH COSGAR (going to the door, and drawing the bolt from the half-door) When you come to my house, Ellen Douras, you are welcome within.
Ellen comes in,
ELLEN It's right that I should speak to you all. Matt Cosgar, I am going from here.
MATT
Ellen, Ellen, don't be saying that. Don't be thinking of the
few words between us. It's all over now. Father agrees to us marrying.
Speak, father, and let her hear yourself say it.
ELLEN
I can't go into a farmer's house.
MATT You said that out of passion. Don't keep your mind on it any longer.
ELLEN It's true, it's true. I can't go into a farmer's house. This place is strange to me.
