ACT II
- Ten Minutes Later
- Mrs. Craig is standing at the window, forward, reading the newspaper. She stops reading, glances out the window, and then moves with a kind of controlled desperation to the bay window at the left, where she looks out again eagerly. Mrs. Harold comes in from the right.
Mrs. Harold
- Is Mazie here, Mrs. Craig?
- [Mrs. Craig turns nervously.
Mrs. Craig
- No, she isn’t, Mrs. Harold; I’ve sent her on an errand; she’ll be back in a minute.
Mrs. Harold (turning to go out again)
- I told her I thought I heard you calling her.
- [Telephone bell rings.
Mrs. Craig
- See who that is, Mrs. Harold, will you, please.
- [Mrs. Harold comes back and picks up the telephone.
Mrs. Harold
- Hello?—Hello?
Mrs. Craig
- What’s the matter; don’t they answer ?
Mrs. Harold
- No, Ma’m, they haven’t answered yet. Hello!
Mrs. Craig (turning to the window again)
- Never mind it, Mrs. Harold; it’s probably a mistake.
