QUEX.
[_Following them with_ MURIEL.] Good morning, Miss Fullgarney.
SOPHY.
[_Blankly._] G--good morning, my lord. [QUEX _and_ MURIEL _go out, followed by_ MISS LIMBIRD. SOPHY _stands aghast, her bosom heaving._]
Oh! oh! oh! [_The door-gong sounds._ POLLITT _appears at the window._ SOPHY _is wringing her hands._] Oh--!
POLLITT.
[_Entering._] My love! what's the matter?
SOPHY.
She--she's left me, without a word!
POLLITT.
She?
SOPHY.
Muriel--without so much as wis.h.i.+ng me good-morning. [_With a sob._] Oh!
when I've done what I can for everybody!
[_The_ portiere _is pulled aside and_ MURIEL _returns, unaccompanied, and comes to_ SOPHY'S _side swiftly._
MURIEL.
[_To_ SOPHY.] Forgive me. You did it for the best. [_Kissing her._] I'm sorry--
SOPHY.
[_Throwing her arms round_ MURIEL'S _neck._] Oh! my darling--! [MURIEL _runs out._ SOPHY _goes to_ POLLITT _and drops her head upon his breast, restfully._] Ah! _that's_ all right.
[_The door-gong sounds finally._
