I would not 'ave come for anything in the world if I 'ad known.

(HELEN _starts to break away_. ROSALIE _clutches her_.)

Don't tell them, dear, don't 'ave me shame you before all your wonderful
friends. I will go in one minute--I will get away from the 'ouse the
first minute I can.

HELEN. But, mother, there's no shame. I'm proud--

ROSALIE. Tell them afterwards if you must tell them, but let me get
away before you do so. (_In her normal voice again_.) Remember now,
mademoiselle, all the love in the world is 'anging above you and praying
for your 'appiness. Do not let it go for the love of 'Eaven.

(_Buzz of conversation_. ROSALIE _turns to_ WALES L. HELEN _stands
looking after her_. WILLIAM _comes to_ HELEN B.C.)

WILLIAM. What did she tell you?

HELEN. You heard most of it. I'll tell you the rest later.

(WILLIAM _and_ HELEN _go up_ R.C.)

ROSALIE. I think I 'ad better go from 'ere.

(MISS EASTWOOD _and_ TRENT _come down_ L.)

WALES. That's absurd. (_To the others_.) Madame la Grange wants to
call off the seance.
