But whom is Hester going to marry? Is she going to marry? I have heard nothing about this. What’s this, Jane? Has something been kept from me?
MRS. DE MULLIN
No, no, Hugo. Nothing has been kept from you. It’s only some fancy of Janet’s. She thinks Mr. Brown is going to propose to Hester. There’s nothing in it, really.
DE MULLIN
Mr. Brown! Impossible!
MRS. CLOUSTON
Quite impossible!
JANET
(calmly)
Why impossible, father?
