Freda.
But if you go to Sir Robert Temple's instead of
me, what am I to do, Margaret?
Margaret.
Stay here with Otto and uncle and aunt and
Cousin Fritz.
Mrs. Schiller.
[In alarm.] But, Margaret, if the Inspectors come
again and ask for Margaret Schiller——
Margaret.
Freda Michel will be here to stand for her. [To Freda.] Say you agree—say you agree.
Freda.
[Wavering.] It's true this gentleman is nothing to
me, and if he is the bad man you say——
Margaret.
He is—he is.
Freda.
Anyway he is nothing to me, and I know nothing
about him, whereas you and Otto——
Margaret.
[Throwing her arms about Freda.] Then you
agree? You darling! [Leaping up.] That's settled
then. What luggage have you?
Freda.
Only this suit-case, and a trunk downstairs.
