YOUNG PLUMBER
It must be wonderful to know these things.
[Brander and Midge enter together. They seem to
find some difficulty in choosing their seats.
MIDGE
Are you quite sure that we can hear him here?
BRANDER
Yes; and besides, I do not wish to sit
Too near the front. I'd rather not have come
At all to-day. But you...
MIDGE
Oh, don't go back
Now on your promise! I must hear him speak.
I must, I must. I cannot tell you why;
I do not know. But I have never seen
A face that seemed to promise me so much—
Things that I cannot utter, cannot think.
BRANDER
I never want to see his face again.
I shall try not to listen.
