Don't deny it! Don't take the trouble to deny it! Don't lie about it! You can't lie to me! Don't I see your evening clothes? And Mary, too! Both of you were going out—both of you!
Mary Speaker
Cousin Fanny, we gave it up when we learned that you wanted us to stop at home with you. Didn't we, John?
Cousin Fanny
[Querulously, childishly, shrilly.]
Don't deny it, Mary, don't deny it! Don't excuse yourself! I can see you were going out! I can see your evening clothes!
Mary Speaker
We'll go and change to something else, won't we, John?
[She is going, as she speaks, but
Cousin Fanny cries out:]
