Others.
[Going.] Good night!
[As the men pass out, the door on L. opens and Margaret enters. She is very pale and seems to take in everything at a glance.
Fritz.
Margaret! My dear Margaret! You have come
in the very nick of time.
Doctor.
[After shutting door on R.] Yes, in the very nick
of time, my child.
Fritz.
Come, sit down, Margaret. Sit! Sit! [She allows herself to be led to a chair R. of Otto, who continues to stand back to table.] What a splendid idea of yours
to go into the Minister's house in place of Freda!
We were all against it, but we were wrong. You
alone were right, but you didn't know how right you
were. Tell her, father.
Doctor.
[Sitting L. of Margaret.] Listen, my child! The
Council of our Club has just separated. You know
why we met?
Margaret.
I know what Otto told me this morning.
Doctor.
About the English Minister?
