WHY JESUS WEPT
59
LADY GLENSTRAE.
Pull down the blinds.
GLENSTRAE.
Certainly, certainly, my dear, I will ring. (Rings.)
SIR PERCY.
I am sick and sane now. God do so to me and more also
if I look at a woman again. What a fool I have been !
GLENSTRAE.
Ah, my boy, you will keep clear of the old ones, I know.
(Enter a footman.) These blinds down ! (The man obeys.) But a
tasty little morsel like your Molly — your first love. — Eh,
my lad ? There ; there, don’t be angry !
SIR PERCY.
Pshaw ! You disgust me. (The footman turns to go.)
GLENSTRAE, to footman.
Wait ! (To Sir Percy.) would you tell her so ?
SIR PERCY.
If I deigned speech.
GLENSTRAE.
Simmons, ask Miss Tyson to step here for a moment. (Exit
servant.) After which I shall leave you for an hour, my boy.
