JENNY enters from the right.
CAPTAIN. Will you be kind enough to light the lamp, Jenny?
ALICE. [Sharply] I want you to light the hanging lamp.
JENNY. Yes, ma'am.
[Lights the lamp while the CAPTAIN watches her.
ALICE. [Stiffly] Did you wipe the chimney?
JENNY. Sure.
ALICE. What kind of an answer is that?
CAPTAIN. Now—now——
ALICE. [To JENNY] Leave us. I will light the lamp myself. That will be better.
