Dick.
Yes, we all hope that.
Mrs. Crowley.
What d'you mean? There can be no doubt about that. When he was arrested Lucy went to him and begged him to tell her the exact truth. He swore that he wasn't guilty.
Dick.
Poor Lucy! She's borne up wonderfully. She'll stick to her father through thick and thin.
Mrs. Crowley.
[Abruptly.] Mr. Lomas, you're trying to put me off. It's not fair to let Lucy buoy herself up with false hopes. She's absolutely convinced that her father will be acquitted.
Dick.
Well, in another half-hour we shall all know. When I left, the judge was just going to sum up.
