Excuse me, miss.
-
Are you all right, miss? Whatever is it?
-
Please help me up.
-
There's a Sir Thomas Sharpe at the door.
-
Thomas Sharpe?
-
He's dripping wet and most insistent on coming in.
-
Well, that's absolutely out of the question, Annie.
-
- Please, just tell him to go away. - I tried.
-
- And? - He wants to talk to you.
-
Miss Cushing. Are you all right? You seem a little pale.
-
I'm not all too well, Sir Thomas, I'm afraid.
-
- Father isn't home. - Oh, I know.
