Miss Morgan. How very annoying.
Miss Pickett. Well, Lucille was so set on coming that I decided to let her have a day of it. Though for the life of me I can’t see the fun of having spiders crawl over you while you sleep, and ants in the coffee, and eating canned stuff for weeks. I will say frankly it is not my idea of a ladylike vacation.
Miss Morgan. We certainly appreciate your kindness in bringing Lucille when it caused you so much inconvenience.
Betty. Miss Pickett may I lend Lucille a middy blouse and skirt for the day?
Miss Pickett. Well, to tell the truth I never approved of that costume. The middies, as you call them, remind me of the way the Chinese laundrymen wear their clothes. I like a dress neatly belted in.
Kitty. But Lucille might spoil her suit.
Betty. It is such a stylish suit. Did you have it made in New York?
Miss Pickett. (pleased) No, the dressmaker made it under my supervision. Very well, Lucille, you may accept Betty’s offer.
Miss Morgan. Miss Pickett suppose you and I go down to the lake where it is cooler.
Kitty. Oh, that will be lovely, Miss Morgan, take her out in the canoe.
