Rh  But why do you ask, Margaret? I'm not afraid to go into a strange family. When a girl has to earn her living she can't afford to be afraid. Besides, Lady Dorothy must be a dear, and if you had heard what my lady used to say about her husband you would think he was a saint, an angel.  [Impulsively, excitedly.] Freda, would you do me—Otto, all of us—a great kindness?  My dear, you know I would.  Then—then—let me go to Sir Robert Temple's house instead of you.  You mean in my place?  Yes, as if I were Freda Michel, who had come from Zurich to be governess to his little girl.  [Rising.] Margaret!

 It's not the salary—you shall have that. I have something to do that can only be done in that house.  Margaret, whatever are you thinking of?
