Oh, John, you don't think Cousin Fanny's going to die, do you?
Mary Thinker [To
John Thinker.]
Don't fool yourself about her dying soon, John. There's no such luck!
[Enter Maid through door in right back to John and
Mary Speaker, who look up. John and
Mary Thinker also notice entrance of Maid and listen.]
Maid
[To
Mary Speaker.]
Miss Hemlock sent me to inquire whether you were going out to-night.
Mary Thinker [To
John Thinker, quickly.]
The old cat's up to something!
