Lucy
I can only repeat that I'm very grateful to you. I can never marry you.
Boulger
[Beginning to lose his temper again.] Are you going to continue to know Mackenzie? If you'll take the advice of any unprejudiced person about that letter, you'll find that he'll say the same as I. There can be no shadow of doubt that Mackenzie is guilty of a monstrous crime.
Lucy
I don't care what the evidence is. I know he can't have done a shameful thing.
Boulger
But have you forgotten that it's your own brother he killed? The whole country is up in arms against him, and you are quite indifferent.
Lucy
[Much moved.] Oh, Bobbie, how can you be so cruel?
Boulger
If you ever really cared for George at all, you must wish to punish the man who caused his death.
Lucy
Oh, why d'you torment me? I tell you that he isn't guilty. It's because I'm convinced of that …
Boulger
[Interrupting.] But have you asked him?
Lucy
No.
Boulger
He might give you the truth.
Lucy
I couldn't do that.
Boulger
Why not?
Lady Kelsey
It's very strange that he should insist on this silence.
Lucy
Do you believe that story too?
Lady Kelsey
I don't know what to believe. It's so extraordinary. If the man's innocent, why doesn't he speak?
Lucy
He knows I trust him. I couldn't cause him the great pain of asking him questions.
Boulger
Are you afraid he couldn't answer them?
Lucy
No, no, no!
Boulger
Well, just try. After all, you owe as much as that to the memory of George.
Lady Kelsey
I think it's very unreasonable, Lucy. He knows we're his friends. He can count on our discretion.
Lucy
I believe in him implicitly. I believe in him with all the strength I've got.
Boulger
Then, surely it can make no difference if you ask him. There can be no reason for him not to trust you.
Lucy
Oh, why don't you leave me alone?
Boulger
Ask him point blank. If he refuses to answer you …
Lucy
[Hastily.] It would mean nothing. Why should he answer? I believe in him absolutely. I think he's the greatest and most honourable man I've ever known. I care more for his little finger than for the whole world. I love him with all my heart. And that's why he can't be guilty of this horrible crime. Because I've loved him for years, and he's known it. And he loves me. And he's loved me always.
