She told 'er he was thinking of 'er
every day and every hour and watching and waiting for the day she would
come to 'im. Now wasn't that worth fifty cents of any woman's money? And
the man may be in 'ell for all I know!
TRENT (L.C. _by arm-chair_). What I can't understand is why you are
telling us all this.
(MISS EASTWOOD _moves to the chesterfield_ C.)
MRS. TRENT (_seated over L. by door_). If we know you are fooling--
ROSALIE (_going to_ TRENT). Did not Mr. Wales tell you?
WALES (L.C.). I've told them nothing.
(MASON _drops down_ R. _of chesterfield_, STANDISH _down_ L. CROSBY _is_
R. _end of chesterfield_ C.)
ROSALIE (C.). Well, tell them now, if you please, sir. (_Moves to and
sits upper end of table and takes off her gloves_.)
WALES (_down_ L.). As I told you some time ago, Madame la Grange has

here to-night, she said she would under certain conditions.
MASON (_between chesterfield and table_). You mean test conditions?
WALES. Not exactly. What she said was that no money should pass between
us, and that whatever she did, she would be honest.
MASON (_very eagerly, and moving towards_ ROSALIE). You mean that you
won't play any tricks?
ROSALIE. If I do, I will tell _you_.
MISS EASTWOOD (_seated on chesterfield_ C.
