Stop!
Egerton.
It's something, gentlemen, that we all have need of.
Mrs. Orr.
Dear, if you ever dare tell Donald this
And pass this ghastly whisper to his heart,
I'll be the Secret Lady of the Pines;
I'll whisper something. What if Donald knew
Who's kept the strike afoot? The great unknown
Contributor to the Citizens' Relief?
Who had twelve hundred dollars in the bank,
A present from a Christmas long ago?
Twelve hundred and twelve hundred——!
Mrs. Egerton.
It can't be!
Mrs. Orr.
We bankers' wives——
Mrs. Egerton.
