CHARLEY. Yes, I do!
General consternation.
MRS. M. There! I said so.
Enter MAGGIE.
How’s the poor dear?
MAGGIE. She says her head is better and she will come down in a minute. What’s the matter?
MRS. M. Charley wants to go to Australia and leave his wife. He’s told us so.
CHARLEY. Well, suppose it was true, wouldn’t it be better than going without telling you? But it isn’t true.
MASSEY. Do you want to take Lil with you?
CHARLEY. How could I?
