60  Margaret—Margaret Schiller.

 Clever, you say?

 Very. Born and educated in this country. Took high honours at college, sir.

 What's she doing—anything?

 Nothing. She has been trying to get a situation as governess, but has not yet succeeded.

 Intensely hostile to England, is she?

 Intensely, I hear. Embittered by her father's fate, they say.

 [Rising.] Of course, you are suppressing all these so-called clubs?

 [Also rising.] We are, sir.

 Let there be no playing with fire, Sir Malcolm.

 There shan't be, sir.
