good angel Hillary, a brother-ln-law !
Is with her;
Hillary-Come, Mrs Filmer, let us
believe If we can-if il makes us bet !
ter and gentler and more merciful-let
us believe that I'm all this there was
the hand of God
Nina (harshly)-Very well let us be-
lieve it. Cooking him i'm the face de-
family and measuring her words). on
ly we must believe equally that it is
the hand Of God that has brought these
letters from their hiding place and has
delivered them to me.
Hillary-Nna, my dear friend, don't
think that because I preach to you,
pose as being man who has nothing
in his life to look back upon of which
he is ashamed. Far from it, my DEAR
I confess to you humbly But l have
in my knocking about the globe seen a
good deal of men and women, and
declare to you that the happy people
I've come across have never been the
people who, possessing power, have
employed it malevolently or uncharit-
ably. I know your position is a diff
cult one-a hard one, in many respects
and that the temptation which as
sails you this morning is a temptation
few could resist. Still, do resist It.
Things are not so bad with you as to
be beyond mending; on the contrary I
think it likely that, if you'll be patient,
matters will eventually adjust them
, selves between you and Filmer. But
tell you, Nina, that this moment you
are in danger of putting the chances of
, happiness away from you irretrievably.
More, promise you that you can at
tain real happiness-attain the only
: solid happiness in this world today-by
, the act of remuneration I urge upon
you. (She stirs slightly; he draws
> nearer.) Nina, there are some people
= walking the earth who are wearing a
: halo. It's invisible to you and me. We
f can't see it, but it's there, round their
= brows, none the less, and the glow of it
lights the dark walls of their lives and
: sustains them through pains, oppres-
r sions and tribulations. They are the
= people who have made sacrifices;
who've been tempted and have con-
quered; who have been offered a sword,
y or scepter, or a bludgeon, and who
have shaken their heads and passed on.
e They are the people who have renounc-
ed. Nina, be among those who wear
I the halo. Burn Maurewardes letters
:. my dear (glancing at the cold grate),
- or give them to me-and forget you've
e ters to Hillary)
