MRS. SHEFF
If Laura could afford to have a nurse to help her with the baby she wouldn't get so exhausted—
MRS. JOHNS
Gordon says he wants to take out some more insurance, that's why he worries so about economy. It isn't for himself, he's really very unselfish—

Still, I do think that sometimes—(They pause and look at each other quickly.) My gracious, we'll be at it ourselves if we don't look out!
(She goes to the clothes-horse and rearranges the garments on it. She holds up a lilliputian shirt, and they both smile.)
MRS. JOHNS
That darling baby! I hope he won't have poor Gordon's quick temper. It runs in the Johns family, I'm afraid. I was an Armstrong before I married Gordon's father—I didn't know what temper was until I married—either my own or his.
