She--she's left me, without a word!
POLLITT.
She?
SOPHY.
Muriel--without so much as wishing me good-morning. [_With a sob._] Oh!
when I've done what I can for everybody!
[_The_ portiere _is pulled aside and_ MURIEL _returns, unaccompanied,
and comes to_ SOPHY'S _side swiftly._
MURIEL.
[_To_ SOPHY.] Forgive me. You did it for the best. [_Kissing her._] I'm
sorry--
SOPHY.
[_Throwing her arms round_ MURIEL'S _neck._] Oh! my darling--! [MURIEL
_runs out._ SOPHY _goes to_ POLLITT _and drops her head upon his breast,
restfully._] Ah! _that's_ all right.
[_The door-gong sounds finally._
