My dear, you must bear up. We must all hope for the best.
George.
But there is no best. Whatever happens, it means disgrace and dishonour. How could he? How could he?
Lady Kelsey.
No one knows your father as I do, George. I'm sure he's never been anything but thoughtless and foolish.
George.
Of course he's not been actually criminal. That's absurd. But it's bad enough as it is.
Mrs. Crowley.
You mustn't take it too much to heart. In another half-hour at the utmost your father will be here with everything cleared up, and you'll be able to go back to Oxford with a clear conscience.
George.
