_ ROSALIE _stays between_ DONOHUE _and_ HELEN). Look at 'er. Look in
'er eyes--look at the face of 'er. Is there murder there? 'Ave you not
eyes in your 'ead.
(DUNN _enters from_ L.)
DUNN. It's not on either of them.
DONOHUE. I know where it is. Tell the matron she'll find the knife on
this girl.
ROSALIE (_to_ DONOHUE C.). Inspector, I will tell to you anything I
know, only keep your hands off my little girl. I did come 'ere like you
say, and when I see my little girl I lose my 'ead. I tried to save 'er
and I 'ave made it worse. You 'ave looked at 'er, the poor young thing
that would not 'arm a fly, and you think she could do a thing like that.
DONOHUE. Yes.
ROSALIE (_still crying bitterly_). Then, Inspector Donohue, you are
a damn fool, and with God's 'elp I will prove it.
CURTAIN.
ACT III
_The same_ SCENE _half an hour later_.
ROSALIE _is discovered by table_ R.
ROSALIE. Father in 'Eaven, help me. My little girl is in terrible
trouble and there is not anyone to 'elp 'er but me. She is a good
girl--you know all things, you know she is a good girl. Show me the way.
I 'ave been a fakir all my life. I 'ave tricked them and fooled them,
but I 'ave never meant to 'arm a soul, I 'ave never done 'arm to any
person. And there is a power. It 'as come to me before, a power that
I could not understand.
