A. Yes; awfully.
F. Good-bye. I’ll tell Jane to lay out my black dress, so it will be all ready when you come.
A. I’ll try and get time to go down town in the morning, to see what I can get to make my gown of. It’s an awful shame you had to hurry away so; I had lots of things to say.
F. Well, I really had to go, you know. You can’t keep a dinner party waiting, of course.
A. Oh, of course not. Good-bye. I’m awfully glad you came.
F. Good-bye. I’ve had a lovely time.
[She at last really goes, and Alice, after lingering a second to regret the things she has not said, retires and closes the door of the now pretty well aired house.]
