THE FIRST ACT

Father McKee
I know one old man who married a young woman an’ she carried on with a stage driver!
Tony
Dio mio!
Father McKee
He had knowed her all her life, too, an’ you ain’t knowed your Amy more’n ’bout five minutes.
Tony
Ees no matter.
Father McKee
An’ I knew another fellow who married one of them city girls like your Amy without bein’ properly acquainted an’ she turned out to be a scarlet woman.
Tony
My Amy don’ do dat.
[Ah Gee enters from kitchen with two glasses and a bottle of wine.]
Father McKee
Ain’t you just now been tellin’ me you’re scared of her seein’ Joe?
