LAURA. And you wished to take me into your confidence?
MONTAGUE. I wished to make it impossible for you to think we had obtained this evidence in your home.
LAURA. I See.
MONTAGUE. You will do us the justice to recognize that we did not seek admission here.
LAURA. Yes; I do that. [A pause.] All that I can say is, that if you think it best to take me into your confidence, you may trust me to the bitter end.
MONTAGUE. Miss Hegan, Mr. Bullen has brought me evidence which proves that the decision of the Court, which is to be made known tomorrow, has been... improperly affected.
LAURA. [Quickly.] By whom?
MONTAGUE. By Robert Grimes.
LAURA. [Starts wildly.] And the evidence involves my father?
MONTAGUE. Your father will be the chief one to profit from the change.
