CRAIG’S WIFE

Craig

Then, he’ll probably be here pretty soon. (Mrs. Frazier comes down into the room, and Miss Austen stops on the landing, looking at Mr. Craig) Thanks—that’s fine. Thank you very much.
[He hangs up.

Miss Austen

Hello, Walter.

Craig

Hellow, Auntie. How are you?

Miss Austen (coming down from the landing)

I didn’t know you were home.

Craig

Just got in this minute. How do you do, Mrs. Frazier.

Mrs. Frazier

How do you do, Mr. Craig.

Miss Austen

Mrs. Frazier was kind enough to come up and show me something about a new pattern that I just bought,

Craig

That so?

Miss Austen

Mrs. Harold tells me that Harriet is home.

Craig

Yes, she just got in ahead of me.

Miss Austen

Did she say how Mrs. Landreth was?

Craig

Pretty bad shape, I imagine, from what she says.

Miss Austen

Where is Harriet, upstairs?
