Susan. She is up in her room. She seems to be a very nice girl.
Hel. Is she good-looking?
Susan. Very. She reminds me of one of them pictures you see in the fashion books. (Starts.) I hear her coming downstairs now. I’ll introduce you right away.
Enter Hat., R.
Hat. Has Bill gone yet, Mrs. Rodney? I have just discovered that I failed to bring my tooth powder with me, and if there is a drug store at the village I want him to get me some.
Susan. I’ll see if Bill has gone yet, Miss Renwick. (Goes to door at C., and looks out.) There! he is going now. Hey, Bill! Come back here. You’re wanted. (Comes back.) Miss Renwick, let me make you acquainted with my daughter Helen.
(Hel., who has been studying the new boarder, advances a step and bows.)
Hat. I am very glad to meet her, I am sure. How do you do, Miss Rodney? (They shake hands.)
Hel. I am quite well, I thank you. I hope you will like it here at High Up Farm.
