Mrs. Carley. But how did you find out all this?
Louise. From Mrs. Coleman. And it's all in the morning paper, and we never took the
trouble to look!
Mrs. Carley. I read the society notes—it wasn't in there.
Louise. Well, the Colemans saw it and telegraphed at once to Washington for confirmation.
Mrs. Carley. Did they get it?
Louise. Not yet. But we're all in the greatest hopes!
Mrs. Carley. But if Dick Coleman was with those other men in San Francisco, why didn't he telegraph home?
Louise. That's the one thing that makes still a dreadful doubt. [Rises and rings the bell.] The Colemans are nearly mad waiting for their reply from Washington.
Mrs. Carley. Shall you tell Georgiana?
