DE MULLIN
I’m bound to say Mr. Brown seems to have behaved in a very fitting manner.
JANET

DE MULLIN

JANET
Well, father. I don’t know what you do want. Ten minutes ago you were supposed to be wanting a grandson to adopt. Here’s Hester going the right way to provide one, and you don’t like that either.
