Austin. It's awful! My God, it's awful!
Jinny. [In a strained, assumed, nonchalant tone.] What is?
Ruth. Jinny!
[Rising.
Austin. I didn't hear you, Jinny!
Jinny. No, you both seemed so absorbed.
Ruth. [Going to Jinny.] I'm so glad to see you.
[Kisses her, but Jinny only gives her her cheek and that rather unwillingly; she is looking all the time at her husband.
Jinny. Thank you, I've just left the Cullinghams. They sent word to you they were going and would wait for you outside.
Ruth. Oh, then, I mustn't keep them waiting. We'll all meet at dinner to-night, won't we? Good-by—good-by.
