[Maid shakes her head slowly, deliberately, looking fixedly at John Speaker; and while she is doing so
John Thinker says to

John Thinker

Maid
[To
John Speaker.]
No, sir, no mistake. She said very plainly and distinctly that you were not to go out tonight.
[Maid bows and exits.]
John Speaker
Cousin Fanny is not so well to-night, I'm afraid, dear, or she would certainly have put her request in some other way.
Mary Speaker
