MISS EASTWOOD (_down_ L.). I thought she might.

(MASON _above table_ R.)

ROSALIE. Did you really, miss?

MRS. CROSBY. Oh, won't you please stay?

(WILLIAM _and_ HELEN R.C. MISS ERSKINE _above table_ R.)

ROSALIE (_coming_ C.). I am afraid I cannot, madame. I am not feeling
right. I am not just myself, madame.

WALES (L.C.). Really, Madame la Grange? I'm afraid under the
circumstances--

ROSALIE (_getting hand-bag from chair_). I am very sorry, but I must go
from 'ere.

MISS EASTWOOD (_moving_ L. _of_ ROSALIE). I think it's a shame to bother
her. And I think she's quite right to go. Her sort of tricks aren't for
people of intelligence.

HELEN. Oh, won't you please stay? (_To_ ROSALIE _now_ C.)

ROSALIE. I must not.

HELEN. Won't you as a great favour to me?
