(Smudging at her cheeks) There's that tells me it's encouragin' something to happen, if I stay here; and Mr. More coming back to-night. You can't serve God and Mammon, the Bible says. (KATHERINE: Don't you know what it's costing him?) Ah! Cost him his seat, and his reputation; and more than that it'll cost him, to go against the country. (KATHERINE: He's following his conscience.) And others must follow theirs, too. No, Miss Katherine, for you to let him--you, with your three brothers out there, and your father fair wasting away with grief. Sufferin' too as you've been these three months past. What'll you feel if anything happens to my three young gentlemen out there, to my dear Mr. Hubert that I nursed myself, when your precious mother couldn't? What would she have said --with you in the camp of his enemies?
