Start: MRS. BOYLE. An' has Bentham never even written to you since — not one line for the past month?

MARY (tonelessly). Not even a line, mother.

MRS. BOYLE. That's very curious. . . . What came between the two of yous at all? To leave you so sudden, an' yous so great together. ...

[... ...]

End: MARY. It would have been useless to tell you — you wouldn't understand.

MRS. BOYLE (hurt). Maybe not. . . . Maybe I wouldn't understand. . . . Well, we'll be off now.
