I sent for Mrs. Trent.
TRENT (L.C.). I know that. What do you want to see her about?
DONOHUE. Mrs. Trent, did you ask this girl to go to Spencer Lee's rooms
to get letters you had written to him?
TRENT (L. _of_ MRS. TRENT). Did she what?
DONOHUE. Did you, Mrs. Trent?
MRS. TRENT (L.C.). Certainly not.
HELEN. Why-- (_Rises from chair in front of table_ R.)
DONOHUE (_sternly_). Keep still, you. (_To_ MRS. TRENT.) Are you sure?
TRENT (_L._ of MRS. TRENT). Of course she's sure.
DONOHUE. Mr. Trent, you must stop these interruptions. (_To_ MRS.
TRENT.) Will you please answer my question?
MRS. TRENT. I never wrote a letter to Spencer Lee in my life. (_She
suddenly turns to_ HELEN.) How dare you say I sent you there?
HELEN. You did! You did! (_In front of table._)
MRS. TRENT (_down_ L.C.). I don't know what she's told you, Inspector,
but--
DONOHUE. Never mind what she told me. I want to be very sure of this.
You did not ask this girl to go to Spencer Lee's rooms?
MRS. TRENT. No.
DONOHUE (_down_ R.). He had no letters of yours?
MRS. TRENT (L.C.). No.
DONOHUE. Do you know whether this girl had written to him?
MRS. TRENT. I don't know anything about it.
WILLIAM (_coming_ L. _of_ MRS. TRENT. CROSBY _comes_ C.). But Nell
didn't know Lee, and you did, Helen.
