SAM. Speakin' of letters, I got one myself this morning.

EM'LY. [Gets letter from pocket.] Who from?

SAM. Looks like a girl wrote it.

EM'LY. What!

SAM. It's in typewritin' an' so I guess a girl did write it—but its from the company.

EM'LY. More mean things?

SAM. Nicer than pie. See here, [Reads:] "And regretting deeply our error, we of course cannot deal with any lawyer, but would be pleased with a personal call from you—your salary awaits you for the time you have been absent—"

EM'LY. [Indignantly.] Been absent!

SAM. And they having me locked up in a hotel.

EM'LY. I should say so.
