LILY. Wait till you’re married yourself to Walter—
MAGGIE. I’m not going to marry Walter.
LILY. [struck with astonishment.] You’re not going to marry Walter? Maggie!
MAGGIE. I’ve broken it off. I did it last night.
LILY. Whatever for? Did you quarrel? You were a little touchy last night, I thought—but Walter is so good tempered.
MAGGIE. I’m sure it’s very good of him, but I don’t wish to be forgiven and taken back. It was all through Mr. Tennant.
LILY. [anxiously.] You don’t love him?
MAGGIE. [exasperated.] No, I’m not in love with anybody; but all last week I was thinking and thinking, and it wasn’t till last night that I found I was just marrying—to get away from the shop!
LILY. But he was devoted to you and so kind.
