Yes. But it will be in the country, not in the city ... for a charitable purpose, of course. The committee would be so happy if you would sing two or three songs.
CECILIA
I think I can.
MARIE
And I shall feel very grateful, too.
CECILIA
Don't you find undertakings of that kind a lot of trouble?
MARIE
Well, you must have something to do. If I had any gifts like the rest of you, I am sure I should never bother with "people's kitchens" or "charitable teas"—and then, I suppose, I should feel more indifferent about people, too.
