Ritter. [With a glance at the furniture] What are you doing around here, Jenny, housecleaning?
Jenny. [Turning and coming back] No, sir, there’s a rehearsal here tonight. [Ritter stops reading and looks at her quizzically for a second.]
Ritter. What kind of a rehearsal?
Jenny. Why, a rehearsal for a show that Mrs. Ritter’s takin’ part in tomorrow night. They done it at the Civic Club the week after you went away, and they liked it so well they’re doin’ it again tomorrow night.
Ritter. Who liked it?
Jenny. Sir?
Ritter. I say, who liked it so well that they’re doing it again?
Jenny. Why, everybody seemed to like it, Mr. Ritter, from what the papers said.
Ritter. What kind of a show is it?
Jenny. Why, I think it’s a tragedy, from what I gather.
