"Yes, she has gone altogether. I sent her away."

"You have sent away Julie? Why, you must be mad."

"Yes, I sent her away because she was insolent, and because--because
she was ill-using the child."

"Julie?"

"Yes--Julie."

"What was she insolent about?"

"About you."

"About me?"

"Yes, because the dinner was burnt, and you did not come in."

"And she said----"

"She said--offensive things about you--which I ought
not--which I could not listen to----"

"What did she, say?"

"It is no good repeating them."

"I want to hear them."
