Sir Robert.
Then why didn't you say that also?
Margaret.
Because I—I didn't think you would like your
child's governess to be engaged to a person of enemy
origin. You can understand that too, sir, can't you?
Sir Robert.
H'm! [His face is growing stern. He lays down telegrams and takes up copy of register.] So Otto Schiller was to meet you at Charing Cross?
Margaret.
Yes, and he did, sir.
Sir Robert.
Your train arrived at 4, but it must have been
5.30 before you reached this house. Where had you
been in the meantime?
Margaret.
We took a taxi and went up to Soho Square, sir.
Sir Robert.
What happened there?
Margaret.
Oh, nothing—nothing particular. We had tea.
Sir Robert.
And then?
Margaret.
Then Otto called another taxi and I came here.
