Mrs. Asterbilt
Mrs. Benson, I think we had better be going.
Mrs. Benson
Oh, you musn’t go so soon—I have ordered a light lunch.
Mrs. Asterbilt
But we ought to be going, and then you’ll want to be visiting with your neighbor.
Hiram
Don’t let me be causing you to leave, the more the merrier. I wouldn’t advise you to leave until after the lunch Mrs. Benson has prepared. She’s the finest cook round, they always calls on her to make the biscuits for the ladies’ aid doin’s at the church and picnics in the summer time. I’d advise you to stay.
Mr. Asterbilt
Mr. Johnson, I suppose you are taking a little vacation to get away from the monotony of the farm. It must be an awful dull place to spend one’s life in.
