Act I]
STREET SCENE

Maurrant
What about Rose?
Mrs. Maurrant
I think maybe she’s working overtime.
Maurrant
I never heard o’ nobody workin’ nights in a real-estate office.
Mrs. Maurrant
I thought maybe on account of the office being closed to-morrow—[To the others]: Mr. Jacobson, the head of the firm, died Tuesday, and tomorrow’s the funeral, so I thought maybe—
Mrs. Jones
Yeah. Leave it to the Jews not to lose a workin’ day, without makin’ up for it.
Maurrant
[To Mrs. Maurrant]: She shouldn’t be stayin’ out nights without us knowin’ where she is.
Mrs. Maurrant
She didn’t say a word about not coming home.
