CRAIG’S WIFE
149
- out there, Mrs. Harold; I wanted you to give my niece a little breakfast.
Mrs. Harold
- I’ve left everything ready out there, Mrs. Craig.
Mrs. Craig
- Where are you going, Mrs. Harold?
Mrs. Harold
- Why, I’m going with Miss Austen, Mrs. Craig.
Mrs. Craig
- Indeed?
Mrs. Harold
- She was tellin’ me last night she was goin’ to leave here, and I said I thought I’d be leavin’ pretty soon myself; so she said if I was goin’ anyway soon, she’d like very much to have me go with her.
Mrs. Craig
- And where are you going with her?
Mrs. Harold
- Why, we are goin’ to the Ritz-Carlton first, and after that she sez she’s goin’ to travel for a few years.
Mrs. Craig
- Well, that ought to be a very good experience for you.
Mrs. Harold
- Yes, I’ve never been many places outside of here and Long Branch, and I thought I’d better take the chance while I had it.
Mrs. Craig
- And do you think it’s very considerate of you, Mrs. Harold, to walk away this way without giving me any notice?
Mrs. Harold
- You didn’t give Mazie much notice last night, Mrs. Craig.
