Not specially. I walked over from the church with Miss De Mullin.
HESTER
Is father coming downstairs, mother?
MRS. DE MULLIN
Yes, Hester. He insisted on getting up. You know he always hates staying in his room.
HESTER

ROLT
I don’t think it will do him any harm. He can rest quietly in a chair or on the sofa.... Well, I must be off. Good-bye, Mrs. De Mullin.
