I went away a bit early.

ROSE

[Excitedly and reproachfully.] What for? Couldn't you put up with the sermon?

STRECKMANN

[Boldly.] Oh, it's such beautiful weather out. An' that's why! I left my wife in the church too. A feller has got to be by himself once in a while.

ROSE

I'd rather be in church.

STRECKMANN

That's where the women folks belongs.
