CRAIG’S WIFE
Mrs. Frazier
- I hope she’ll be better soon.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Craig.
- [She goes out.
Craig
- Good afternoon, Mrs. Frazier. I hope you’ll come over again very soon.
Mrs. Frazier (calling back)
- Thanks ever so much, I shall be delighted to.
Miss Austen (following her out)
- And thanks again for the roses.
- [Craig turns away from the door and goes up the stairs. Mrs. Craig appears between the portières, looking darkly towards the bay window at the left, where Mrs. Frazier can be seen passing across the lawn.
Mrs. Frazier
- Oh, don’t mention it, dear child, I should have brought you twice as many.
Miss Austen
- And I’ll let you know if there’s anything I don’t understand as I go along.
Mrs. Frazier
- Please do, now, Miss Austen; don’t hesitate to call me.
Miss Austen
- I will, I’ll let you know.
Mrs. Frazier
- Good-by.
Miss Austen
- Good-by, Mrs. Frazier.
- [The screen door slams. Mrs. Craig moves forward to the mirror over the mantelpiece at the right.
