Sir Robert.

Then you think the young woman will come back?

Sir Malcolm.
We think she is sure to come back, sir. She may have come back already.

[Sir Robert touches the bell. Galloway enters.

Sir Robert.
When did Miss Michel return home this evening?

Galloway.
She hasn't returned yet, sir.

Sir Robert.
When she comes in let me know immediately.

Galloway.
Yes, sir.

[Galloway goes out. Sir Robert's face expresses vexation.

Sir Malcolm.
I'm sorry, sir. Evidently you have thought better of the young woman. You've trusted her. But I thought it only right—

Sir Robert.
[Impatiently.] Yes, yes!—What do you wish me to do?

Sir Malcolm.
First, to see to it that this person shall hav« no further access to the child.
