Mrs. Tillman. It isn't a question of chance; you just can't help it sometimes, can you, George?

Tillman. No, you can't.

Mrs. Tillman. And so—

Austin. Don't worry! Your daughter's safe with me. I'm not the jealous sort myself and I love Jinny so completely, so calmly, and yet with my heart, and soul, and mind, and body, she'll never have a chance even to try to be jealous of me!

Tillman. Sh!

[Jinny enters Right.

Jinny. I found poor Maggie up in my room crying! She says she can't bear to have me go away. I think she's sorry now she wouldn't come with me as maid—and I said good-by to cook and she sniffed!

[Austin looks at his watch.

Austin. Oh! we ought to go!

Mrs. Tillman. Good-by, darling!
