ROSALIE. Well, miss, since you ask it, I will stay.

(MISS EASTWOOD _laughs. She and_ TRENT _go up_ L. CROSBY _is by
chesterfield_ C. MASON _below table_ R. MRS. CROSBY _is seated at lower
end of table_. MRS. TRENT _comes to arm-chair_ L.C. _and sits_.)

MRS. CROSBY. I'm very glad. Really I'm greatly interested.

ROSALIE (_crosses_ R.). Thank you, madame.

CROSBY (_coming down_ C.). I think after what we've seen, we must ask
Madame la Grange to submit to certain conditions.

ROSALIE. Anything at all, sir--anything at all.

MASON (_down_ R.). I agree with you. Frankly this woman impresses me.
I think this test should be taken seriously.

(MISS EASTWOOD _at the_ L. _end of the chesterfield, laughs_.)

WALES (L.C.). Just what I was going to say.

CROSBY (R.C.). If you will submit to the conditions we impose, Madame la
Grange, and then show us any manifestations, I will never scoff at
anything again.

ROSALIE. Scoffing is the easiest thing anybody can do.

(CROSBY _crosses down_ R. _below table_.)
