CRAIG’S WIFE
Ethel
- Well, I was tired, but she could have called me; she might have known I’d want to talk to you. Because I didn’t know what you’d think of my being down here, after leaving word that I was going home.
Fredericks
- Have you seen her this morning?
Ethel
- Yes, but she didn’t say anything about it. And I was talking to her here this morning about you, too. I was saying that I ought to call you on the long distance, that you’d be wondering what was the matter.
Craig (hurrying down the stairs with Ethel’s satchel)
- I’ll run over and get the car.
Fredericks
- Can I take that, Mr. Craig?
Craig
- I’ll leave it out here on the porch. I’ll be back in two minutes. You have lots of time.
Fredericks (going to the piano for his hat)
- Are you ready, Ethel?
Ethel
- Yes, I’m ready, Gene. Id better say good-by to Aunt Harriet.
Fredericks
- Will I wait for you outside?
Ethel
- Don’t you want to meet her, Gene?
Fredericks
- I don’t think she wants to meet me, Ethel.
Ethel
- Why not?
