[At this moment Mrs. Crowley enters with
Sir Robert Boulger. She has a cloak on.
Mrs. Crowley.
I was just coming to say good-night. Bobby is going to drive me home. [She suddenly notices Lucy's agitation.] What on earth's the matter?
[Lady Kelsey and Dick Lomas come in. Lady
Kelsey looks at Lucy and then goes up to
her impulsively.
Lady Kelsey.
Lucy, Lucy!
Lucy.
[Brokenly.] I'm no longer engaged to Mr. Mackenzie. He can't deny that what is said about him is true.
[They look at him in astonishment, but he makes
no movement.
Mrs. Crowley.
