(Hesitatingly, she turns and faces her mother.) No--but the last time Jack was harder to bring around than before, and he looked at me for fully five minutes without a particle of love in his eyes, and they were almost-- dead eyes! (MRS. TILLMAN: What was it all about?) Ruth Chester, principally. (MRS. TILLMAN: Why Ruth?) Well, the first real scene I made was in Rome in the Vatican. I was jealous of her; I can't explain it all to you--as a matter of fact, it hasn't been all explained to me! Something was troubling Ruth that Jack knew, and he said he'd help her.
