CRAIG’S WIFE
Mrs. Craig (taking Ethel’s hat and coat)
- I’ll take them, dear.
Ethel
- Thanks.
Mrs. Craig
- I’ll have Mazie take them right up to your room.
- [She puts them down on the table carefully and Ethel crosses down towards the mirror, settling her hair.
Ethel
- I suppose I look terrible, don’t I?
Mrs. Craig (crossing and taking Ethel’s bag from the piano)
- No, dear, you look quite all right. Would you like a drink of something?
Ethel
- I would like a drink of water, yes, if you don’t mind.
- [Mrs. Harold appears between the portières.
Mrs. Craig
- Hello, Mrs. Harold
Mrs. Harold
- I see you’re back again.
Mrs. Craig
- This is Mrs. Harold, Ethel.
Ethel
- How do you do.
- [Mrs. Herold bows and Ethel moves back again to the roses on the piano.
Mrs. Craig
- Miss Landreth will be staying here with us for a week or two, Mrs. Harold, so I wish you’d see that everything is all right in that corner room.
