Coast. [At the door Right.] I'll go up and see the kids.

[Coast looks at Dick and goes out very slowly with Mrs. Carley.

Georgiana. I couldn't say good-by to you like

that—I couldn't share my good-by with mother; you understand that, don't you, Dick.

Dick. Yes, old girl, though if I had my way I wouldn't say good-by to you at all—I hate good-bys to people I care about.

Georgiana. Sit down just a few minutes.

[They sit down by the table.

Dick. [Sees the tie in her hands.] Busy making reins for Toots? What an ugly color!

Georgiana. Is it? Well, it's a tie for you!

Dick. Oh—I mean it's ugly for reins, but perfectly lovely for a tie—I'll take it with me.
