CRAIG’S WIFE

Mrs. Craig (taking Ethel’s hat and coat)

I’ll take them, dear.

Ethel

Thanks.

Mrs. Craig

I’ll have Mazie take them right up to your room.
[She puts them down on the table carefully and Ethel crosses down towards the mirror, settling her hair.

Ethel

I suppose I look terrible, don’t I?

Mrs. Craig (crossing and taking Ethel’s bag from the piano)

No, dear, you look quite all right. Would you like a drink of something?

Ethel

I would like a drink of water, yes, if you don’t mind.
[Mrs. Harold appears between the portières.

Mrs. Craig

Hello, Mrs. Harold

Mrs. Harold

I see you’re back again.

Mrs. Craig

This is Mrs. Harold, Ethel.

Ethel

How do you do.
[Mrs. Herold bows and Ethel moves back again to the roses on the piano.

Mrs. Craig

Miss Landreth will be staying here with us for a week or two, Mrs. Harold, so I wish you’d see that everything is all right in that corner room.
