[She kisses ANNYS.] You have been called to a great work. Be worthy of it. [They are all making ready to go. ANNYS has rung the bell for HAKE.] JANET [To ANNYS.] Are you glad? ANNYS [Kisses her.] You showed me the whole thing in a new light. You were splendid. [She turns to ELIZABETH.] Didn't I tell you he would convert you? ELIZABETH I was wrong to judge all men guilty. There are also-- the innocent. ANNYS [For a moment--but a moment only--she is pleased. Then the doubtful meaning of ELIZABETH'S words strikes her.] [Enter HAKE.] ANNYS [She has to dismiss ELIZABETH.] Oh, Hake--[To LADY MOGTON.] You'll want a cab, won't you, mamma? LADY MOGTON A taxi-- Goodbye, everybody. [She sails out.] |
