CRAIG’S WIFE
161
Fredericks
- After what you’ve been telling me.
Ethel
- Oh, that’s nothing, Gene.
Fredericks
- She hung up on me last night.
Ethel Yes, I want to ask her about that call.
Fredericks (going out)
- I think I’d better wait for you outside.
- [Ethel glances through the portières, then comes forward thoughtfully at the right. There is a slight pause. Then Mrs. Craig glides through the portières and across to the bay window to look out. Ethel watches her narrowly, then moves to the right end of the center table.
Ethel
- I’m just going, Aunt Harriet.
- [Mrs. Craig turns, slightly startled.
Mrs. Craig
- Oh, I thought you’d gone. (She comes back towards Ethel) I didn’t hear anybody in here, and I was wondering if you’d gone without telling me.
Ethel
- No, I’m just going.
Mrs. Craig
- Where are Mr. Craig and Mr. Fredericks ?
Ethel
- Mr. Fredericks is there on the porch. (Mrs. Craig turns to the front door and glances out) Uncle Walter’s gone over to get the car.
Mrs. Craig
- Oh, he’s going to drive you in.
