Plays: Lady Frederick, The Explorer, A Man of Honour

by W. Somerset Maugham

Mrs. Crowley.

It's too dreadful.

Boulger.

Where is Lucy? I was hoping to get a glimpse of her.

Mrs. Crowley.

I wouldn't trouble her to-day if I were you. I think she most wants to be left alone.

Boulger.

I wanted to tell her that if I could do anything at all, she had only to command.

Mrs. Crowley.

I think she knows that. But I'll give her the message if you like.... You're very devoted.
