ACT III
[She goes out quickly.
Margaret, left alone, kneels for a moment with the toys, replaces a few in the box. Then she rises and stands waiting. Mr. Grey comes in, carrying her things.
Mr. Grey : It’s me, Margaret.
Margaret : Yes, darling.
Mr. Grey : I just came over, Margaret. You’d left your umbrella at home and it was looking sort of cloudy, so I thought I’d bring it over.
Margaret : Thank you, darling. It was nice of you to think of it. It’s a fine evening, though. I think I’d like to walk, now I’ve got you to come with me. Is that my coat?
Mr. Grey : Yes, the young lady asked me to bring it. She seemed upset.
Margaret (taking the hat and coat and putting them on) : She’s had a hard time, poor thing.
Mr. Grey (tentatively) : I hope you found your friend better to-day, Margaret?
Margaret : Yes, dear. He’s much better. He’s well again. I shan’t be coming any more. I’ll stay home with you. I’ve been neglecting you. Come along, dear, I’m quite ready.
Mr. Grey (as they go to the door) : It’s a fine house, this, Margaret.
Margaret : Yes, it’s a lovely house.
