All. Out?
Dr. At this hour?
Mrs. D. I thought she wasn’t well?
Serv. She left a note for you, sir. (gives note to Ned. Exit, L. Ned opens note, holds it out to Alma)
Sir H. What does she say?
Alma. Only two words—“Good-bye.”
Re-enter Tom, C., from L., unobserved.
Mrs. D. It’s an elopement!
Dr. Our worst fears are realised.
Ned. (springing up) What do you mean?
