CRAIG’S WIFE
- want you to go out there with him to Fergus’ funeral;but don’t you do it. And you’d better tell him not to go around there either; for one of you is apt to say something. And if that butler out there sees you, he might recognize you. And there’s no use starting anything now, when the thing’s all over.
- [He looks at her steadily.
Craig
- Is that all you wanted to tell me?
Mrs. Craig
- Well, it’s the thing to do, isn’t it? It certainly wouldn’t help matters now to say anything, would it? What are you smiling at?
Craig
- At your wanting to help matters.
Mrs. Craig
- So I have wanted to help them.
Craig
- Since when?
Mrs. Craig (turning away to the center table)
- Well, don’t let’s go into all that again. I’ve been wanting to help you principally, but you don’t seem to have sense enough to appreciate it.
Craig
- Is that all you want me for?
Mrs. Craig (turning to him again)
- No, it isn’t all I want you for. I want to know about that ornament there that was broken here last night.
Craig
- What about it?
Mrs. Craig
- I don’t know what about it; that’s the reason I’m asking
