Louise. [Interrupting.] I've just seen Steve, he's told me. Steve's coming uptown soon—to see you—

Georgiana. [Sitting on the sofa beside Louise.] To see me—why?

Louise. He'll tell you better than I—I feel happy, Georgiana.

Georgiana. I'm glad.

Louise. And I believe you'll be happy again.

Georgiana. Thank you, Louise!

[Mrs. Carley enters Right and sits by the table.

Mrs. Carley. You back, Louise! I'm that tired, shopping. I'm buying everything I can

Georgiana. [Rises and goes back of the table.] Mother, dear, you may not have to leave here after all!
