MRS. CRILLY I'm sorry for what occurred, and I'll apologise to the boy's mother if you like.
MUSKERRY
I won't be interfered with, I tell you. From this day out
I'm free of my own life. And now, Christy Clarke, go down stairs and
tell the Master, Mr. Scollard, that I want to see him.
Christy Clarice goes out.
MRS. CRILLY I may as well tell you something else. None of the things you ordered were sent up to the cottage.
MUSKERRY
Do you tell me that?
MRS. CRILLY I went round to the shop, and everything you ordered was sent to us.
MUSKERRY
And what is the meaning of that, ma'am?
MRS. CRILLY If the town knew you were going from us, in a week we would have to put up the shutters.
MUSKERRY
Well, I'll walk out of this, and when I come to the road
I'll go my own way.
MRS. CRILLY
We can't prevent you.
