He finishes speaking and is thoroughly aroused and determined as he does so. Virginia becomes silent and somewhat depressed by his statement, and the emphasis behind it. Raeburn continues to talk most earnestly to Virginia. He tells her that he positively forbids her to see Everidge again.

Nevertheless, she seems reluctant to withdraw her hand, which Calviari kisses fervently. As he does so, Virginia, in an intense manner and subdued tone, exclaims : Title: "Quick, they must not suspect! I sent you a note!"

They are relieved at discovering that they have not been observed by the others. Scene 43. Close full view of the group. Calviari starts to mount his horse.

However, I've invited him to the Lawn Fete I'm giving for charity tonight — and I can't very well take back that invitation." She finishes speaking, and it is evident that she would like to have Marlowe advise her what is the best thing to do in her present predicament. Marlowe is at loss just what to say. He scratches his head and wonders. Before he can speak, Consuelo, with a little gasp of horror, conveys the fact that she has espied the approach of Everidge.

Marlowe is no coward, but he is sane enough to avoid unnecessary trouble whenever, with honor, it is possible to do so. After debating within himself for just a moment as to whether or not he ought to go, he turns to Virginia and Consuelo and asks if they will excuse him. Virginia, who, under the circumstances approves of his departure, assents, as does Consuelo, and Marlowe starts from the scene toward the clubhouse ; the others look after him. Then Everidge turns to Virginia as if he were about to demand an explanation of her actions. However, Consuelo, who does not want to remain in Everidge's company, tells Virginia that she is going to the clubhouse, too. Virginia understands, and Consuelo hastens from the scene to join Marlowe. She does not even glance at Everidge, and he feels the slight quite keenly. Scene 52. Exterior.
