_side of circle, and
sits._)
MASON. Yes.
DONOHUE. Now then, who occupied this seat?
MRS. TRENT (L.C. _outside of circle_). Mr. Wales. I know because I sat
_there_, and I was _next_ to him. Shall I sit there now?
DONOHUE. If you will be so good.
(MRS. TRENT _crosses to_ R. _and sits in circle._)
STANDISH (_upper end of table_ R.). I was next to Mrs. Trent. (_He sits._)
MRS. CROSBY. And I was here between Mr. Standish and Billy.
(_She sits._ DONOHUE _moves off a step down_ R. _and stands
looking at them as they sit._ ROSALIE _moves over and takes her
place in armchair._)
DONOHUE. You are all sure that's where you were sitting?
MISS EASTWOOD. There's some mix up here, I know. (ROSALIE _rises_.)
I wasn't next to Mr. Wales.
HELEN (_rises_). Of course you weren't. I don't see what I could have
been thinking of. _I_ sat where Miss Eastwood is.
MISS EASTWOOD. Yes, and I was next to Mr. Trent, between Philip and Mr.
Trent. I felt sure I was in the wrong seat. (_Rises._)
DONOHUE (_quite casually_). Then perhaps you ladies will exchange
places.
(ROSALIE _gives a little sigh of relief when she sees that_ DONOHUE
_attaches no importance to the substitution she has made, and sits down
again._ HELEN _and_ Miss EASTWOOD, _change seats._ HELEN _crosses
outside of circle.
