Mrs. Hunter. [Not believing they will go.] Oh, must you? Well, it was very kind of you to come.

[Miss Godesby leaves her muff upon the table at the Left.

Miss Sillerton. [Shakes hands with Mrs. Hunter.] Good-by.

[She goes on to Clara.

[Miss Godesby comes to shake hands with Mrs. Hunter.

Mrs. Hunter. I think you're making a mistake not to take the dress, Julia dear.

Miss Godesby. Perhaps, but I really can't go more than two hundred and fifty.

[Mrs. Hunter looks surreptitiously at Clara, who slyly shakes her head to her mother.

Mrs. Hunter. Oh, quite impossible!

Miss Godesby. Good-by.
