The Betrayal by L. P. HARTLEY adapted by GUY VAESEN with Denys Blakelock Martin Jarvis and Irene Sutcliffe
' No - not murder! Don'say murder: '
'What was it then, morally? Oh, I know you were acquitted ... but you knew. Or why should you so desperately need to tell me? '
For the sake of truth. For the shadow of the thing to be thrown across my name. When you speak so glibly, so easily, about something so hidden, you frighten me.'
