JANET
Yes, mother. I’ve been wanting to leave you. I can’t stay here any longer. Brendon stifles me. It has too many ghosts. I suppose it’s your ridiculous De Mullins.
DE MULLIN
Janet!
JANET
I know, father. That’s blasphemy, isn’t it? But I can’t help it. I must go. I’ve been meaning to tell you every day for the last four days, but somehow I always put it off.
DE MULLIN
Understand me, Janet. If you leave this house to-night you leave it for ever.
JANET
(cheerfully)
