got some presents! Come in, Mr. Coast.
[Coast comes in and goes straight to Philip. Sam Coast is a tall, slender, but strong-looking man, rather "raw-boned." He is dressed most fashionably and most expensively,—over-dressed, in fact, and yet not too vulgarly. A man of muscle and nerve, who makes his own code and keeps his own counsel.
Coast. Shake, Phil.
[Shakes his hand.
Philip. [His hand hurt.] Golly! He can squeeze, can't he, Aunt Georgiana?
Georgiana. Well, really! Miss Elaine Jackson—Mr. Coast.
Elaine. [Embarrassed, rises, and curtseys.] How do you do?
Coast. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Hello, rest of you.
Christopher and Toots. Hello!
Christopher. Are you Auntie Georgiana's beau?
