CRAIG’S WIFE

[Mrs. Harold appears between the portières. Mrs. Craig sees her over Craig’s shoulder, and crosses quickly below him.

Mrs. Craig

What is it, Mrs. Harold?

Mrs. Harold

I’m sorry to bother you, Mrs. Craig, but I’m afraid the dinner’ll be spoiled.

Mrs. Craig (going down to the mirror)

All right, Mrs. Harold, put it up; I’ll be right out.
[Craig moves forward to the upper right-hand corner of the center table.

Mrs. Harold (withdrawing)

All right.

Craig

Mrs. Harold.

Mrs. Harold (stopping)

Yes, sir?
[She comes back a few steps towards him.

Craig

Mrs. Harold, do you know if anybody has called that number that I gave you last night here, to-day, on this telephone?

Mrs. Harold

You mean the number you gave me to have Mr. Birkmire call you at?

Craig

Yes, Levering three one hundred.

Mrs. Harold

No, sir, I don’t know that anybody has. I only gave it to Mr. Birkmire over the telephone last night when he called.
