Mrs. Craig

Mrs. Harold

Mrs. Craig (turning away towards the front door)
- All right, Mrs. Harold. (Mrs. Harold goes out through the portières, taking the dustpan and brush with her) Walter, come in here for a minute, will you? (She glances over her shoulder, to see that Mrs. Harold is out of earshot, then turns and waits till Craig comes in. He enters, carrying the newspaper) What does the paper say this morning about the Passmore thing?
Craig (handing her the newspaper)
- You’re quite safe.
- [He comes forward and across in front of the center table to the mirror, and straightens his tie.
