LADY MOGTON [To JANET.] I will get you to come to the station
with me. I can give you your instructions in the cab. [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.]
