Geoffrey. Hang it, Jinny! drop the subject. I thought he said he was going to Brooklyn; probably I was mistaken.
Jinny. [Satirically.] One is so apt to think just casually that every one's going to Brooklyn! [Looks at her watch.] Of course it's Brooklyn. [Goes and looks at the telegram; turns.] So you're going back on me, too, are you? You're going to protect Jack at my expense!
[Austin enters Right.
Austin. [Absorbed.] Good evening, Jinny dear.
Jinny. It's after seven!
Austin. [Pleasantly.] Is it? Have you been waiting long, Geoffrey?
Geoffrey. No, I've only just now come in.
Jinny. It's I who have done the waiting!
Austin. I'm sorry, but it couldn't be helped.
Jinny. You didn't tell me you were going to Brooklyn.
