MRS. WESTERN. Here, Miss Farren.
MISS FARREN. [_Putting it into her bag._] Thank you so much. Good-bye.
MRS. WESTERN. If you should ever need a reference, don"t be afraid to--
MISS FARREN. Oh, thanks, no more governessing for me. Good-bye!
[_She trips out, without another glance at_ HARVEY, _who sits huddled by the fire._ MRS. WESTERN _moves slowly to the door. At the threshold she pauses, turns, and looks at_ HARVEY.
MRS. WESTERN. I"ll take care that the next governess--shall be quite as pretty as this one, Harvey.
[_She opens the door and goes._ HARVEY _doesn"t stir._
