JESSIE

Oh, I’ll go; but I don’t understand why you make such a point of it!

MRS. BRIGGS (a little flustered)

A point of it? I? I’m not making a point of it! I don’t at all, except—except for your health.

JESSIE (going)

My health! (She halts.) What nonsense!

MRS. BRIGGS

Your health is the only thing to consider. You’ve started; why don’t you go?
