Lizzie. [Blushing.] Oh, my!
Christopher. Mr. Dick's a soldier!
Philip. Yes, siree! He helped stop a strike of street cars in Brooklyn. His name was in the papers!
Christopher. He was hurted bad, and if he was dead, he'd have a monnyment with "Hero"
embroidered on it. Aunt Georgiana said so!
Elaine. I should think Miss Georgiana was too old, anyway, to have beaux.
Christopher. Oh, awful old!
Lizzie. Oh! Miss Carley isn't so old!
Philip. Yes, she is, too! She's our old maid aunt.
Elaine. If she wasn't old, she'd be married. It must be awful to be so old.
