MUSKERRY (with emotion) God help me with you all, and God direct me what to do.
MRS. CRILLY
It's not in you to let us down.
Muskerry turns away. His head is bent. Mrs. Crilly goes to him.
MUSKERRY Will you never be done taking from me? I want to leave this and go to a place of my own.
Muskerry puts his hand to his eyes. When he lowers his hand again
Mrs. Crilly lays hers in it. Christy Clarke comes in. Muskerry turns
to him. Muskerry has been crying.
MUSKERRY
Well, Christy, I'll be sending you back on another message.
Mrs. Crilly makes a sign to Christy not to speak.
MUSKERRY
Go to your mother and tell her—-
CHRISTY
I met my mother outside.
MUSKERRY
Did she get the things that were sent to her?
