(_There is a pause._) The letters.
If he's known the truth about the letters. (_Breaks_ L. _a step_.)
HELEN (_coming down to_ L. _of_ ROSALIE'S _chair and picking up glove_).
Mother, why did you throw that glove at Mason?
ROSALIE. Did it hit him? Well, well! Well, any'ow it was a good seance.
(ROSALIE _crosses down_ R.C.)
HELEN (_moving to_ L. _side of_ ROSALIE). Mother, you know? You've found

(WILLIAM _takes_ ROSALIE'S _chair up_ L. _and then comes down_ L.)
ROSALIE. It is one thing to know and another to prove.
HELEN (L. _of_ ROSALIE). Mother, who was it?
ROSALIE. Child, child, do you think it is a game we do play? I 'ave two

HELEN. But what, mother, what?
ROSALIE. I do not know! I do not know! Child, if you do not get away

WILLIAM. But can't we--
ROSALIE. This is no work for children. Leave me alone and let me think.
(WILLIAM _and_ HELEN _run off_ L., _closing door_.)
ROSALIE. He will never tell in the world. Never in all this world. (L.C.
_Half in thought_.) Laughing Eyes, you are no good to me in the world.
We 'ave faked all our lives, and now when I want the real thing I get
nothing at all. If I could find the knife, there would be marks of a
'and on that.
