(MASON _goes slowly to_ ROSALIE'S _chair_. TRENT _moves_ L. _above_ MASON _to_ STANDISH. ROSALIE _begins to mutter and moan. Suddenly she brings her hands together, and then throws her arms wide apart._ WALES' _glove sails out of her hand and strikes_ MASON _on the face. It falls to the floor_.)
(STANDISH _exits very quietly door down_ L. MASON _picks glove up, holding it in his hand_--_looks at it_--_suddenly drops it to the floor--turns to_ MRS. CROSBY.)
MASON. Mrs. Crosby, shall I take Miss Eastwood to your room for you?
(MISS ERSKINE _moves to door_ L. MASON _assists_ MISS EASTWOOD _and helps her from the room, exiting door down_ L. MRS. CROSBY _goes out_ L. TRENT _wipes his hands with handkerchief_. ROSALIE _stirs uneasily and moans_.)
HELEN (_standing_ R. _side of_ ROSALIE'S _chair_). Please leave her to me. I'm afraid seeing you all here will trouble her. I'm afraid she'll-- Oh, won't you please go.
(_The others turn, move towards the door down_ L. _and go out_.)
CROSBY (_below_ L. _end of chesterfield_). Let me know if there's anything I can do.
(CROSBY _goes out_ L. WILLIAM _runs quickly to the door at_ L., _closes it and then turns to_ ROSALIE, _who is sitting up in her chair_.)
ROSALIE (_rises and crosses a step_ R.). Well?
HELEN (R.C.). It was the Eastwood girl. Her face was terrible. I was glad when she fainted.
WILLIAM (L.C.). I think you're wrong. Standish ran away. He couldn't bear it.
ROSALIE. And _that_ is all you saw? I told you to use your eyes and the brains that are at the back of them.
WILLIAM. Well, of course, there was Trent. You can't mean Trent? Why, he's the kindest man in the world. (_There is a pause._) The letters. If he's known the truth about the letters. (_Breaks_ L. _a step_.)
HELEN (_coming down to_ L. _of_ ROSALIE'S _chair and picking up glove_). Mother, why did you throw that glove at Mason?
ROSALIE. Did it hit him? Well, well! Well, any'ow it was a good séance.
HELEN (_moving to_ L. _side of_ ROSALIE). Mother, you know? You've found out?
(WILLIAM _takes_ ROSALIE'S _chair up_ L. _and then comes down_ L.)
ROSALIE. It is one thing to know and another to prove.
HELEN (L. _of_ ROSALIE). Mother, who was it?
ROSALIE. Child, child, do you think it is a game we do play? I 'ave two or three minutes. What I 'ave to do I 'ave to do quickly.
