[_No answer from JINNY._] To spare
me, and above all to spare you the knowledge of your brother's sin, your
husband has kept Geoffrey's secret from you. You have _well_ repaid him!
[_She turns again to AUSTIN._] Good-by--I feel to-night I couldn't marry
Geoffrey again. He's tumbled so far off his pedestal he has fallen out
of my heart. But still--we'll see; I've told him to come to-morrow.
_Thank you_ from the bottom of my heart--it's full of gratitude, even if
it is broken!
[_She goes out Right._
[_JINNY slowly turns, almost afraid to look at AUSTIN. He stands
stern, with set face._
JINNY. [_In a low voice, ashamed to go near him._] Can you forgive me?
Can you--
AUSTIN. Ugh!
[_Crossing room for his coat._
JINNY. I'm mad! You know I don't know what I do. But I _love you_--I
love you! Forgive me!
AUSTIN. Never!
[_Taking up his coat._
JINNY. Where are you going?
AUSTIN. Out of this house.
JINNY. If you leave me, I'll not bear it! I'll kill myself! I warn you!
AUSTIN. Bah!--Good-by!
[_Going to the door Right._
JINNY. No! Where are you going?
AUSTIN.
