CRAIG’S WIFE
105
Craig
- You say those men have been here already.
Mrs. Craig
- And what if they have? That doesn’t mean anything.
Craig
- It means that they must have associated my name with it already, doesn’t it?
Mrs. Craig
- No, it doesn’t mean anything of the kind; they were simply looking for information.
Craig
- But it was to me they came for that information.
Mrs. Craig
- Because you were a friend of Passmore’s.
Craig
- Exactly. And they’ll very likely come back here again.
Mrs. Craig
- But, you don’t have to go out looking for them, do you?
Craig (turning away and going up towards the door at the left)
- You can’t be playing any game in a thing like this, Harriet.
Mrs. Craig (following him up)
- No, and you don’t have to go rushing out to meet a lot of scandalous publicity, either. I should think your own common sense would show you what it would mean to have your name even mentioned in a thing of this kind. (Turning away and down towards the center table) Why, it ’ud be in every newspaper in the country.
Craig (coming forward at the right of the piano)
- That wouldn’t bother me in the least.
