(CURTAIN)


SCENE II.

(Same setting as before. Mrs. C. and Miss C. just being let in by Nora.)

Mrs. C. And did any one call for me while I was out, Nora?

Nora. No mem, a Mrs. Donahue hollered through the tellyphone, and wanted me to say she called, but she niver came near the dure at all, at all. She didn’t seem to want nothin’ but to know what number this was, and what my name was. Rather sassy, she was, I thought.

Mrs. C. Mrs. Donahue? I don’t know any Mrs. Donahue.

Nora. Sure and I thought she didn’t know yez, all the toime, mem. She jist wanted to holler through the little bellbox.

Mrs. C. Is tea ready?
