CRAIG’S WIFE
- see it in the paper there when I came downstairs, and I couldn’t find you anywhere.
Craig
- I went out with Birkmire.
Mrs. Craig
- Was that Birkmire that was here?
Craig
- Yes, he wanted to see me about it.
Mrs. Craig
- I didn’t even know whether you knew it or not: because you hadn’t said anything about it when you came in this evening.
Craig
- I didn’t know it when I came in this evening.
Mrs. Craig (pointing at the paper on the table)
- It’s on the very front page of the paper there.
Craig
- I didn’t see the paper this evening till Birkmire showed it to me.
Mrs. Craig
- Well, why didn’t you call me then, and not go rushing out of the house?
Craig
- I didn’t want to upset you.
Mrs. Craig (moving forward and across in front of the center table)
- Well, I certainly couldn’t have been any more upset than I have been. (Turning to him) Mazie said there’s been a man here, and that you’d gone away with him in an automobile—so, of course, I didn’t know what to think. I thought probably you’d been arrested or something.
- [He looks at her sharply.
