Come for you, Blanche, sent on from your hou

 side pocket_) Well, I must run away. (_Crosses_ C.) Denham. Must you go? 
Fitzgerald. Yes--I've--I've a lot of things to do. Good-bye. (_Shakes hands 
absently._) Denham. Oh, Fitz, I want to show you something. Will you excuse me 
for a moment, Mrs. Tremaine? (_Exeunt Denham and Fitzgerald._) Mrs. Denham. Do 
sit down, and let us have a little quiet talk. (_They sit down. Mrs Denham 
crosses and sits on sofa_ R; _Mrs. Tremaine on sofa_ L, _and Miss Macfarlane in 
armchair by fire, quietly observe each other._) You are looking splendidly, 
Blanche. Mrs. Tremaine. Yes, I'm in very good form. But you're not looking 
well--rather pale, you know. Mrs. Denham. I'm a little tired, that's all. I am 
so glad to see you again. Why have you quite given me up? Mrs. Tremaine. Well, 
you see, I have been rather making a mess of my life, and I have not been much 
in town. Besides, I was a little shy about coming, after--all my escapades. 
Mrs. Denham. You know I'm not a censorious person, Blanche. I don't think our 
conventional morality very admirable, and I never adored the patient Griselda. 
Mrs. Tremaine. You don't know how I feel your kindness, Constance. I have had a 
hard time of it, so far; but now I have taken my life into my own hands, and I 
mean to live it out. Mrs. Denham. But your husband? You married again, did you 
not? Mrs. Tremaine. Yes. Fancy a woman making that mistake twice! But, you see, 
I was in an equivocal position. I had left my first husband, Miss Macfarlane; I 
don't want to conceal my misdeeds. Miss Macfarlane. Oh, don't expect paving 
stones from an old woman like me! I judge every case on its own merits. I know 
what men are, though I've been content to gain my experience at my friends' 
expense. I tell ye I know more about the ins and outs of marriages than most 
married women, just as the curler on the bank sees most of the game. You mayn't 
have been anything worse than a fool, and ye mayn't have been even that. Mrs. 
Tremaine. Thank you. I was a fool, of course. You see, my first marriage was a 
mistake altoge
