THE ELDER MISS WETHERELL. It is her having been on the stage that
they feel so.

THE YOUNGER MISS WETHERELL. You see, they have always been a
religious family.

THE ELDER MISS WETHERELL. Do you know, I really think they feel it
more than we do. I found Peggy crying about it yesterday, in the
scullery.

DR. FREEMANTLE [he has been listening with a touch of amusement.]
Peggy Bennet?

THE YOUNGER MISS WETHERELL. Yes. CHARLES Bennet's daughter.

DR. FREEMANTLE. Happen to have a servant about the place who isn't a
Bennet?

THE YOUNGER MISS WETHERELL. No, no, I don't really think we have.
Oh, yes--that new girl Mrs. Bennet engaged last week for the dairy.
What is her name?

THE ELDER MISS WETHERELL. Arnold.

THE YOUNGER MISS WETHERELL. Ah, yes, Arnold.

DR. FREEMANTLE. Ah!

THE ELDER MISS WETHERELL. I think she's a cousin, dear.
