Jinny. I beg your pardon?
Carrie. Thirty-four people with a gassy guide? We got so tired hearing him talk that we jes' sneaked off by ourselves, and now we're a little scared about getting home; we belong to the Cook's Gentlemen and Ladies.
Jinny. Oh, no, the others haven't passed through here; probably they have gone to see the pictures; you'd better go back and keep asking the attendants the way to the pictures till you get there.
Mrs. Lopp. [With rather subdued voice.] Thank you! We've come to do Europe and the Holy Land in five weeks for $400—but I don't know, seems as if I'm getting awful tired—after jes' sevin days.
Carrie. [Affectionately.] Now, mommer, don't give up; it's because you haven't got over being seasick yet; that's all!
Jinny. [Helplessly.] Oh, yes, you'll find it much less tiring in a few days, I'm sure.
Mrs. Lopp. Still Rome does seem a powerful way from home! How'll we ask for the pictures?
Carrie. Why, mommer! "Tableaux!" "Tableaux!" I should think you'd 'a' learned that from our church entertainments! Good-by; thank you ever so much.
Mrs. Lopp. You haven't lost your party, too, have you?
Jinny. [Smiling.] I hope not! He promised to come back!!
