Oh, you don't know her. She's from another part of the state from your town. (MISS GILPIN: Miss Howard.) Yes, Miss Gilpin. (In an aside to Murray as she leaves him.) It's time for those horrid diets. ((She hurries back into the office.) Murray stares into the fire. Miss Howard reappears from the office and goes out by the door to the hall, rear. Carriage wheels are heard from the drive in front of the house on the left. They stop. After a pause there is a sharp rap on the door and a bell rings insistently. Men's muffled voices are heard in argument. Murray turns curiously in his chair. Miss Gilpin comes from the office and walks quickly to the door, unlocking and opening it. Eileen enters, followed by Nicholls, who is carrying her suit-case, and by her father.)
