Coast. Oh, Lord, that's worse! I guess I won't stop at Denver,—I'll go away out to the mine for a while and join father.—Good-by.

Georgiana. Good-by.

[Rises.

Coast. I swore off a lot of things when I thought I was going to get you, Georgiana!

Georgiana. [Without any feeling.] I'm glad!

Coast. But I don't want to put on any bluff. I've sworn 'em all on again.

[Going Left.

Georgiana. [Same voice, without feeling.] I'm sorry.

Coast. [Turning quickly and with an absurd ray of hope.] Are you really?

Georgiana. [Looking at him a second.] No, Sam, I suppose, if I tell the truth, I don't really care. You see, somehow or other, I don't care very much about anything.
