(MRS. ARBUTHNOT snatches up glove and strikes LORD

ILLINGWORTH across the face with it. LORD

ILLINGWORTH starts. He is dazed by the insult of his

punishment. Then he controls himself and goes to

window and looks out at his son. Sighs and leaves

the room.)

MRS. ARBUTHNOT (falls sobbing on the sofa). He would have said it. He would have said it.

(Enter GERALD and HESTER from the garden.)

GERALD. Well, dear mother. You never came out after all. So we have come in to fetch you. Mother, you have not been crying? (Kneels down beside her.)

MRS. ARBUTHNOT. My boy! My boy! My boy! (Running her fingers through his hair.)

HESTER (coming over). But you have two children now. You’ll let me be your daughter?

MRS. ARBUTHNOT (looking up). Would you choose me for a mother?

HESTER. You of all women I have ever known.
