Blanche asks Stella why she hasn’t questioned what happened to make her leave her position in the middle of a school term. Stella responds that she was waiting for Blanche to tell her, and Blanche assumes that Stella believes she was fired.

You haven't asked me how I happened to get away from the school before the spring term ended.

STELLA: Well, I thought you'd volunteer that information--if you wanted to tell me.

BLANCHE: You thought I'd been fired?

STELLA: No, I--thought you might have--resigned...
