MRS. CLOUSTON

(thoughtfully)

It was strange you never could find out who the father was.

MRS. DE MULLIN

(sighs)

Yes. She wouldn’t tell us.

MRS. CLOUSTON

You should have made her tell you. Hugo should have insisted on it.

MRS. DE MULLIN

Hugo did insist. He was terribly angry with her. He sent her to her room and said she was not to come down till she told us. But it was no use. Janet just stayed in her room till we had all gone to bed and then took the train to London.
