MRS. SYLVESTER.
Yes, but what is the best? [Margery grimaces at her.] Is our mistake so hopeless, irremediable? After all, is not true loyalty loyalty to oneself?
GERALD [looks at her].

MRS. SYLVESTER.
Or what becomes of our philosophy?
GERALD.
Yes, what becomes of it?
[Another pause. Margery laughs almost audibly. During the next passage the laugh subsides into an expression of perplexity.
