Rose: Papa will do anything for me.

Dr. Van Hyde: Then we have little to fear.... Now (he turns to upper L.) I know you must be tired. This long talk has fatigued you. I will call Mr. Valdingam. (He is about to open the door.)

Rose (suddenly): One moment, please.

Dr. Van Hyde (turning to her): Yes?

Rose: Pardon me, I am not in the least fatigued. I have—something more to say.

Dr. Van Hyde: Indeed?

Rose: Before you see papa again.... Please sit down. (He seats himself at R. She stands leaning against table at L.) We have had quite an important little chat, after all, have we not?

Dr. Van Hyde (gravely): I think it has been important.

Rose: For me?
