CRAIG’S WIFE
3
Miss Austen
- Oh, did you—thanks ever so much.
Mrs. Harold
- She’s gettin’ a vase for them.
Miss Austen
- They’re lovely, aren't they?
Mrs. Harold
- Yes, they’re handsome.
- [She goes out on to the porch again, and Mazie comes in through the portières, carrying a vase of pink roses, which she puts on the upper corner of the small grand piano at the left.
Mazie (calling out through the French windows to Mrs. Harold)
- Did the paper come yet, Mrs. Harold?
Mrs. Harold
- Yes, I just brought it in,—it’s there on the table.
- [Mazie turns and comes back to the table, picks up the paper, and strolls forward, holding it up as though to allow the light from a window at the right to fall upon it.
Mazie
- More rain again to-morrow.
Mrs. Harold (answering her from the front porch)
- Does it say so?
Mazie
- Unsettled to-night and Friday—probably thunder showers. Slightly cooler, with moderate winds,
Mrs. Harold (coming in)
- I don’t know where all the rain is comin’ from.
Mazie
- It isn’t very nice weather for Mrs. Craig, is it?
Mrs. Harold (moving forward to the piano)
