(To himself as he reads) Crimes! Phew! That accounts for them bein' away all night. While he is reading, CAMILLE enters from the hall. Here! Have you seen this, Camel--in the Stop Press? (CAMILLE: No. They read eagerly side by side.) (Finishing aloud) "Tried to prevent her father from forcing her mother to return home with him, and he struck her for so doing. She did not press the charge. The arrested gentleman, who said he acted under great provocation, was discharged with a caution." Well, I'm blowed! He has gone and done it! (CAMILLE: A black eye!) (Gazing at her) Have you had any hand in this? I've seen you making your lovely black eyes at him. You foreigners--you're a loose lot!
