CRAIG’S WIFE
39

Craig

Yes, she’s just taken her things up.

Mrs. Frazier

Miss Austen was telling me that Mrs. Craig’s sister has heart trouble.

Craig

Yes, she’s had it a long time.

Mrs. Frazier

Poor woman.

Miss Austen

Nearly ten years.

Mrs. Frazier

How unfottunate. I suppose Mrs. Craig is very much upset, isn’t she?

Craig

Yes, I suppose she is.

Mrs. Frazier

Is she her only sister?

Craig

Yes, there are just the two of them.

Mrs. Frazier

Too bad. But, that’s the way it seems to go as a rule, doesn’t it?

Craig

Yes, that’s true.

Miss Austen

Walter, you should see all the wonderful roses Mrs. Frazier just brought me over.
[Mrs. Frazier gives a little deprecating laugh and moves towards the piano at the left.

Craig

Oh, yes?
