Philip. Oh, pshaw!
Christopher. Don't you go!
Elaine. Oh, yes, I must! I'm sorry! [She goes up stage with great diffidence to Steven and shakes his hand as she curtseys.] Good-by, sir. [To Coast also.] Good-by, sir. [To Georgiana.] Good-by, ma'am, I've had a perfectly lovely time. [Aside to Georgiana.] Phil is my
beau, but I like Mr. Coast awfully much too!
Georgiana. [Laughing.] You're beginning early! Come along, children, we'll take Elaine down. Excuse me, everybody, please.
Philip. If you've got any good tips, papa, save some for little brother.
[The children go out Left with Georgiana.
Steven. [Putting his hat and coat down on the sofa.] He's on to his father early! Sam, any news?
Coast. No.
Steven. I've heard of a big thing, an absolutely straight tip,—inside information.
