Mrs. Upjohn.
But, Lil, dearie——!
Lily.
Oh, for mercy’s sake, leave me alone! Violently. Why can’t you leave me alone!
Mrs. Upjohn.
Ho! Very good! Moving away indignantly as Lily, with shaking fingers, unfastens a necklace. This is my reward for layin’ awake ’alf the night, is it, an’ for thinkin’ of you, an’ wonderin’ about you! Ungrateful little puss, you! Going towards the door. After this, you can keep your affairs to yourself for as long as ever you choose. Don’t you expect me——!
Lily.
Suddenly, sitting upon the settee. Mother——!
Mrs. Upjohn.
Sharply. Yes?
