MR TODD 
 
 
THOMAS.  Mr. Delhomme would like to see you for a 
moment on urgent business.  
[The lovers exchange signals privately.  
EUPHEMIA.  Show him up.  
THOMAS.  Yes, miss.  
[THOMAS goes out. 
CARR.  I will go and get a snack.  Trust me—love 
me—— 
EUPHEMIA.  I will—I do.  
[They embrace.  CARR goes to the door—turns.  
CARR.  Love me—trust me.  
[EUPHEMIA “ flies to him, kisses him again, nods.  
EUPHEMIA.  I will—I do—I love you—I trust you.  
CARR.  Sweetheart !  [they kiss, furtively, as if hearing 
footsteps.] So long !   
[She retreats into the room, and blows him a kiss.  
CARR.  [outside, loudly].  Good morning, Miss Ossory !    
EUPHEMIA.  [sinking into a chair, faintly].  Good-bye—
no.  no !  Till—when ?    
[She is almost crying, but sets her teeth and rises.  
THOMAS.  [opening the door].  Mr. Delhomme.  
 
[Enter DELHOMME. 
DELHOMME.  I am a thousand times sorry to intrude 
upon your grief, Miss Ossory, but——  
EUPHEMIA.  Uncle Henry was nothing to me.  
DELHOMME.  In any case, I should not have spoken to 
you, but my Embassy has suddenly called me.  I am to 
go to Constantinople—I may be a month away—and—I 
want to see you first.  
EUPHEMIA.  Of course, to say good-bye.  It is sweet of 
you to think of us, Monsieur Delhomme.
