Mrs. Crowley.
You've been quite charming, Lady Kelsey, as every one knew you'd be. But don't think of these wretched weeks of suspense. Think only that Mr. Allerton has got his chance at last. Why, the trial may be over now, and he may this very minute be on his way to this house.
Carbery.
What will he do when it's over? The position will be surely a little unpleasant.
Lady Kelsey.
I've talked it over with Lucy, and—I've made it possible for them all to go abroad. They'll need rest and quiet. Poor things, poor things!
Carbery.
I suppose Miss Allerton and George are at the Old Bailey.
Lady Kelsey.
No, their father begged them to stay away. They've been in all day, waiting for the papers.
