CRAIG’S WIFE
157
- [She starts across below the table towards the mirror, and Fredericks starts across above the table towards the telephone. Craig comes through the portières.
Fredericks
- I’d better call a taxi, hadn’t I?
Ethel
- Oh, Uncle Walter,—this is Mr. Fredericks.
- [Fredericks continues over to shake hands with Craig and Ethel moves up to Fredericks’ left.
Craig (shaking hands)
- I’m glad to meet you, Mr. Fredericks.
Fredericks
- How do you do, Mr. Craig?
Ethel
- Mr. Fredericks is the young man I’m engaged to be married to.
Craig
- Well, I am glad to meet you.
Fredericks
- Pretty lucky fellow, don’t you think, Mr. Craig?
Craig
- I’d say you were. And is it all set?
Fredericks
- I hope so; although Ethel seems to feel a little nervous about it.
Craig
- What are you nervous about, Ethel?
Ethel
- I’m not nervous—it isn’t that. But I was telling Gene that I’d been discussing it with Aunt Harriet, and she seemed to think that probably I hadn’t considered it enough.
- [Fredericks looks at Craig.
