CRAIG’S WIFE
35
Mrs. Craig
- I hope you’re not going to get into card-playing again, Walter.
Craig
- Why, I never gave up card-playing.
Mrs. Craig
- Well, you haven’t played in nearly a year.
Craig
- Well, I suppose that’s because you don’t play. And most of the folks know that, so they don’t ask me. I don’t suppose Fergus would have asked me yesterday, only that I happened to mention that you were away.
Mrs. Craig
- Was his wife there?
Craig
- She was for a while, but she didn’t play; she was going out somewhere.
Mrs. Craig
- I suppose that’s the reason Fergus asked you, wasn’t it?
Craig
- What do you mean?
Mrs. Craig
- Why, you know how insanely jealous of her he used to be.
Craig
- Well, I’m sure he was never jealous of me.
Mrs. Craig
- He was jealous of everybody, from what I could see.
Craig
- Oh, don’t be silly, Harriet.
Mrs. Craig
- Well, you wouldn’t know it, Walter, even if he were.
