CRAIG’S WIFE
Mrs. Craig
- There’s some one at the door, Mrs, Harold.
- [The doorbell rings again.
Mrs. Harold (hurrying across to answer the door)
- I guess maybe it’s the man for Miss Austen’s things,
Mrs. Craig
- Is Miss Austen leaving already ?
Mrs. Harold (stopping near the door)
- I think so; she said last night she was going first thing in the morning.
Mrs. Craig
- Is she up?
Mrs. Harold
- Yes, Ma’m, she asked me to call her at seven.
- [She goes out, and Mrs. Craig crosses after her.
Mrs. Craig
- Well, if that’s the man for her things, Mrs. Harold, have him go round to the side door and bring her things down the back stairway; I don’t want him dragging trunks down these front stairs.
- [She steps to the bay window at the left and looks out at the expressman.
Expressman (at the front door)
- Trunks ready?
Mrs. Harold
- Yes, they’re ready. Would you mind going around to the side door; you can bring them down the back way.
Expressman
- Around this way?
Mrs. Harold
- Yes, up the steps; I’ll open it for you.
