MRS. VERNON. Is she, Joe?

JOE. Well, ma, I can't tie her.

MRS. VERNON. Take Lizbeth with you.

KATE. I don't want Lizbeth with me.

LIZBETH. I won't play proprietary for her!

KATE. [Starting up.] I'm going alone. [Crosses right.

MRS. VERNON. [With her back to street door.] Not this door, you ain't.

KATE. Then the other. [Exits, followed by MRS. VERNON.

MRS. VERNON. [As she disappears by door.] We'll see!

Enter BOLLINGER from street.
