I'll tell everybody. Knox collapses in despair. Mrs Knox tries to pray and cannot. Margaret stands inflexible. ACT III Again in the Gilbeys' dining-room. Afternoon. The table is not laid: it is draped in its ordinary cloth, with pen and ink, an exercise-book, and school-books on it. Bobby Gilbey is in the arm-chair, crouching over the fire, reading an illustrated paper. He is a pretty youth, of very suburban gentility, strong and manly enough by nature, but untrained and unsatisfactory, his parents having imagined that domestic restriction is what they call "bringing up." He has learnt nothing from it except a habit of evading it by deceit. He gets up to ring the bell; then resumes his crouch. Juggins answers the bell.
