SIR GEOFFREY. [_Gently._] I am beginning to understand....
LADY TORMINSTER. You will be less lonely in future ... and I no longer
afraid of the stars.... Brave heart--oh, brave little heart that I for a
moment have held in my hands!
SIR GEOFFREY. [_With a passionate movement towards her._] Gertrude!
LADY TORMINSTER. [_Lifting a finger._] No--stay where you are.... Those
are the first rays of dawn--I must go.... Good-bye. We have no need to
shake hands, you and I.... Ah, Geoffrey--good-bye!
[_She goes swiftly, and closes the door. He bends his head, and
remains standing, motionless, by the table._

THE BRACELET
_The dining-room in an upper middle-class house near the Park. It
is furnished in the conventional modern style, soberly and
without imagination. The room is on the ground floor, facing the
street, the door is to the right, and leads into the hall. To the
left of this door is a sideboard, glittering with silver. Three
tall windows, at the back heavily curtained; between them hang
two or three family portraits. The table, on which there is the
usual debris of a meal that is over--coffee-cups,
liqueur-glasses, etc.
