[He stops smoking and looks at her sharply.] Had to? Who made you? MARY. [Reluctantly.] It was something inside me. OLLIVANT. [In spite of himself.] Tush-that foolishness. MARY. [Quickly.] Don't make it hard for us again. OLLIVANT. I made it hard, Mary? Because I objected to your leaving your mother here alone? MARY. I remember; you said I was a foolish, "stage-struck" girl. OLLIVANT. Well, you're over that, aren't you? MARY. That's just where you are mistaken, father. [Slowly.] That's why I asked you if you hadn't misunderstood my coming back.
