Edward:
A thousand pardons, Madam.
Mrs. Townly:
I will never pardon you in my life.
Townly:
You signed.
Mrs. Townly:
Yes, but I will disinherit her. I will never see my son-in-law again.
I will divorce my husband. I will hang Lucas and the lawyer. I am
going crazy.
(Mrs. Townly runs out in a fury)
Edward:
We'd better bring her back before she does something dangerous.
Townly:
So much for the spirit of contradiction.
