MUSKERRY No, you can do nothing further for me. It's a great deal you have done for me! It's the pauper's bed you have given me! (He goes into the Select Ward)
MRS. CRILLY
Sit down, Mr. Scollard. I want to speak to you.
Mrs. Crilly seats herself at the table. Scollard sits down also.
MRS. CRILLY The bank manager is in the town to-day, and there are people waiting to tell him whether my father goes to our house or goes away from us.
SCOLLARD No doubt there are, Mrs. Crilly.
MRS. CRILLY
But you have nothing to do with that, Mr. Scollard.
SCOLLARD
No, Mrs. Crilly.
MRS. CRILLY
I have my own battle to fight, and a hard battle it is.
I have to make bits of myself to mind everything and be prepared for
everything.
SCOLLARD
No doubt, Mrs. Crilly.
MRS. CRILLY There are people who will blame me, but they cannot see into my mind.
