LAURA. How long does it take to come from Buffalo?

WILL. Depends on the train you take.

LAURA. About how long?

WILL. Between eight and ten hours, I think. Some one coming?

LAURA. Do you know anything about the trains?

WILL. Not much. Why don't you find out for yourself? Have Annie get the time-table?

LAURA. I will. Annie! Annie!

[Rises from piano. ANNIE appears at doorway.

ANNIE. Yassum!

LAURA. Go ask one of the hall-boys to bring me a New York Central time-table.
