-
You're very quiet this evening.
-
I've had a letter of Mr Mason, William's dad.
-
Oh, yes. What does he want?
-
To see me.
-
Well, there's nothing very wonderful in that
-
You're his daughter-in-law, why shouldn't he see you?
-
I wish it were as simple.
-
Well, I think it is but I'll not reopen the wound.
-
What do you mean, you knew?
-
I hoped it would blow over.
-
I didn't want to split the family
-
when Sybil might still wake up.
