How did _she_ get there?
MARGARET
Your mother sent for her.
ROGER
My mother sent for her? Then she knew?
MARGARET
Yes. She knew everything.
ROGER
How?
MARGARET
_He_ told her--Arthur did.
ROGER
Good Lord! I never heard a word of it.
MARGARET
No. They were afraid--afraid you wouldn't understand.
ROGER
Afraid _I_ wouldn't understand? Why, _I_ understood only too well. It was mother that wouldn't have understood. I'd have cut my hand off rather than tell her.
MARGARET
Well, she did understand. She understood better than you did. She understood that part of him hadn't grown up. He was like a boy. He just walked into things....
ROGER
How did he ever come to tell _her_?
MARGARET
Once when he was sick. Your mother was taking care of him. He blurted it all out, like a homesick boy.
ROGER
And _she_ understood? Didn't break her heart, and all that?
MARGARET
Oh, it was a shock, naturally. But they talked it all over, and your mother sent for this woman. I knew. Arthur knew I knew....
ROGER
And mother packed her away without telling me?
MARGARET
Oh, she didn't pack her away. That is, right off.
ROGER
He kept on seeing her? With mother's knowledge?
MARGARET
Yes. Your mother liked her.
ROGER
Well, if women aren't the strangest things!
MARGARET
Yes, they are. Some of them. Fortunately. But you see how wrong you were, Roger?
ROGER
How was I wrong?
MARGARET
About this unfitness--this survival.
ROGER
On the contrary. It only proves it.
MARGARET
No, it doesn't. I've been thinking, too ... about saving people from themselves, and all that. You say it's the law of life, and we can't go beyond life.
ROGER
No, we can't. I still say it.
MARGARET
