Margaret.

[Faintly.] No.

Sir Robert.
You have seen them to-night?

Margaret.
[More faintly.] Yes.

Sir Robert.
You have just left them?

Margaret.
[Still more faintly.] Yes.

Sir Robert.
Then you admit that you have broken faith with me? [The girl does not answer.] Answer—you admit that you have broken faith with me?

Margaret.
[Almost inaudibly.] Yes.

Sir Robert.
[After an effort to control his anger.] During the two months in which you have been living under my roof have I ever been unkind to you?

Margaret.
Indeed, no, sir.

Sir Robert.
Nor any of my household?

Margaret.
No.
