Celia. (Calling up to Phyllis) Oh, Phyllis, I only meant to tell you and Mr. Tarver.
Phyllis. (Excitedly. Bringing down Aunt Ida extreme L.) Aunt Ida! Celia is engaged to be married.
Aunt Ida. (Coming down left of table and below table to Celia. Smiling happily) Darling--at last---- (Kisses Celia.)
Phyllis. (Dances across to center) I can be married now. I can be married now. (Runs across to Madge and sits on piano stool.)
Aunt Ida. I knew that this would happen.
Celia. Did you, Aunt Ida? (These last two lines spoken hurriedly and together.)
Phyllis. Madge, what do you think? Celia is engaged.
Madge. (Rises, drops her pen in blank surprise) Not really!
(Phyllis runs to Bobby , who is on fender, and they sit together, talking excitedly, and looking at Celia.)
Faraday. (Entering from card room. Testily) Now then, now then, can't you girls make a little less noise?
