Part 61

I've trusted you!

FARNCOMBE.

Ask Miss Birch----!

LILY.

Eddie! Lord Farncombe----! [He releases her and they confront one another, she panting, he hanging his head guiltily.] W-w-well, I-- I have been mistaken in you.

FARNCOMBE.

LILY.

Ha! I-- I thought you were such a quiet, bashful fellow.

FARNCOMBE.

Forgive me. Forgive me.

LILY.

FARNCOMBE.

I may see you again? I may see you again? Lily-- Lily--! Lily----!

LILY.

JEYES.

LILY.

Answer me!

JEYES.

Keeping an eye on you.

LILY.

Spying on me!

JEYES.

On you-- [jerking his head towards FARNCOMBE] and----

LILY.

How dare you!

JEYES.

I've been at it all night.

LILY.
