| (Morley) {Rising quickly, his eyes fixed on GERALDINE.} | |
| (0, 1) 209 | It is dreadful to meet you like this. |
| (Morley) What do you mean? | |
| (Morley) You come back into my life, and I am glad─glad! | |
| (0, 1) 213 | It would be better for you─to forget me. |
| (Morley) I don't want to forget you. | |
| (Morley) Since you left me, you have never been out of my thoughts. | |
| (0, 1) 216 | After what happened, I can never come back to you, never! |
| (Morley) I don't understand. | |
| (Morley) You speak of something that happened? | |
| (0, 1) 219 | You must know─you do know. |
| (0, 1) 220 | Don't ask me to recall those days of shame! |
| (Morley) I want your story from your own lips. | |
| (0, 1) 223 | From my own lips? |
| (0, 1) 224 | I wanted to tell you then─at the time─but I was afraid─afraid! |
| (0, 1) 226 | I feared what you would think, feared that you would drive me from you; and I couldn't face that. |
| (Morley) You need not have feared. | |
| (Morley) You will find that I am not a harsh judge. | |
| (0, 1) 230 | I have told the truth to others. |
| (0, 1) 231 | They said they would believe me. |
| (0, 1) 232 | But, when they heard, they shook their heads, and I could see they condemned me in their hearts. |
| (0, 1) 233 | I─I'm afraid to tell you─you would condemn me, too, and I─I couldn't bear it (sobs). |
| (Branscombe) I'll leave you, Morley. | |
| (0, 1) 239 | Don't go, please don't go! |
| (0, 1) 242 | The past is past. |
| (0, 1) 243 | Words can't bring it back. |
| (Morley) But there is the future. | |
| (Morley) Is it fair? | |
| (0, 1) 249 | It is for your sake I am siient. |
| (Morley) For my sake? | |
| (Morley) Tell me the truth. | |
| (0, 1) 253 | The truth? |
| (0, 1) 255 | The truth? |
| (0, 1) 256 | I─I can't remember. |
| (0, 1) 257 | They confused me─frightened me─in the Police Court. |
| (0, 1) 258 | I─I─ |
| (Morley) Hush! | |
| (0, 1) 264 | They took me there. |
| (0, 1) 265 | They said I was─was a thief. |
| (0, 1) 267 | Oh─no─no! |
| (0, 1) 268 | I didn't do it. |
| (0, 1) 270 | I'm not guilty─indeed, indeed, I'm not. |
| (0, 1) 286 | Yes, Mr. Branscombe has a right to know what I am. |
| (0, 1) 287 | I forgot that. |
| (0, 1) 288 | I had nowhere to go, no friends, after that day. |
| (0, 1) 289 | I had to find work, or ask God to let me sleep. |
| (0, 1) 320 | Some bank notes were missing from the safe. |
| (0, 1) 321 | One of the missing notes and a skeleton key were found in my desk. |
| (Branscombe) Ah! | |
| (Branscombe) Go on, Miss─Mrs. Morley. | |
| (0, 1) 325 | They said I had opened the safe with the skeleton key, and stolen the notes. |
| (0, 1) 326 | I denied it, but I was confused, contradicted myself, they said. |
| (0, 1) 327 | Perhaps I did. |
| (0, 1) 328 | It was all so horrible. |
| (0, 1) 329 | I wanted to go home to tell you; but they took me to the Police Court. |
| (0, 1) 330 | Was I guilty? |
| (0, 1) 331 | I didn't know! |
| (0, 1) 332 | I couldn't remember what I had done, my brain was in a whirl, I thought I should go mad! |
| (Morley) Poor little woman! | |
| (Morley) Poor little woman! | |

| (0, 1) 340 | At last my day of liberty came. |
| (0, 1) 341 | Liberty! |
| (0, 1) 342 | What a mockery it was! |
| (0, 1) 343 | It gave me back to the world, a woman without a character, a thing to be jeered at and scorned. |
| (Morley) I was there waiting for you. | |
| (Morley) But you didn't come. | |
| (0, 1) 347 | No, I couldn't face you. |
| (0, 1) 348 | I saw you and was afraid. |
| (0, 1) 349 | I waited until you had gone. |
| (0, 1) 350 | A mist lay heavily on the moors, and I watched you drifting out of my life. |
| (0, 1) 351 | I─I thought my heart would break. |
| (Morley) Why did you let me go? | |
| (Morley) Why did you let me go? | |
| (0, 1) 353 | I loved you─loved you too much to bring a shadow into your life. |
| (0, 1) 354 | That is all! |
| (0, 1) 355 | Only indeed, indeed, I never did it. |
| (Morley) I know you have never done anything in your life to be ashamed of. | |
| (0, 1) 358 | You believe that─after what I have told you? |
| (Morley) {Looking steadily, trustfully into her eyes─close to her─one hand stealing out to her.} | |
| (0, 1) 362 | Oh, Rowland, if I had only known! |

| (Branscombe) The devil!─ | |
| (Morley) Can't you stretch a point, Miss Geraldine, and make my play a little more real? | |
| (0, 1) 401 | It would be guite convincing then, wouldn't it? |
| (Morley) It would be The Real Thing─if you were really Mrs. Morley. | |
| (Branscombe) Is it a bargain? | |
| (0, 1) 409 | It would be a pity to spoil such a splendid chance. |
