CRAIG’S WIFE
Mrs. Craig
- Mazie didn’t deserve any notice; she was a very disobedient girl. She absolutely refused to do what I told her.
Mrs. Harold
- Well, I haven’t always done exactly what you told me to do, either, Mrs. Craig,—so maybe I deserve to go as well as Mazie.
Mrs. Craig
- Well, of course, you can suit yourself about going, Mrs. Harold, but you understand I shall have to tell Miss Hewlitt about your leaving without notice.
Mrs. Harold
- Miss Hewlitt knows all about my leaving, Mrs. Craig; she’s surprised that I didn’t leave long ago, to tell you the truth.
Mrs. Craig
- And why didn’t you leave?
Mrs. Harold
- Well—there were no children—and it’s near church. But Miss Hewlitt told me when I came here that if I stayed a month I’d be the first out of seven that did.
Mrs. Craig
- Miss Hewlitt has sent some very unsatisfactory women here.
Mrs. Harold
- A lot of them have worked in some pretty fine places.
Mrs. Craig (turning away, and moving down to the mirror)
- Well, of course, that depends upon what a person’s idea of a fine place is. And I suppose the next batch she sends me won’t be any more satisfactory than the rest.
