First Footman. The widder seemed chipper like!

Leonard. And did you get on to the old lady's rig-out; mourning don't hang very heavy on her shoulders.

[One chair is moved back.

Jordan. [To First Footman.] Get the coffee. [He goes out Right. To Leonard.] Get the smoking lay-out!

[Leonard goes out Right and brings back a silver tray laden with cigarettes, cigar boxes, and a burning alcohol lamp.

Leonard. If you ask me, I think she's going to put a bit more on the matrimonial mare if she gets the chance.

Jordan. It's none of your business. You're Mrs. Sterling's servant now.

Leonard. Good thing, too; it was a happy day for us when they moved in.

First Footman. [Reënters with the coffee.] Say, did you see how that young feller over there [Motioning to the lower right-hand corner of the table.] shovelled the food in?

Leonard. And the way he poured down the liquid—regular hog! My arm's tired a-filling of his glass.
