Good-bye, Mrs. John.

MRS. JOHN

[In strange excitement accompanies the two young people to the door. Speaking still more loudly.] You don' believe that! But it's the solemn truth, Mr. Spitta!

SPITTA and WALBURGA leave the room.

MRS. JOHN

[Still holding the door in her hand calls out after them.] Anybody that don' believe that don' know nothin' o' the whole secret that I discovered.

The foreman-mason JOHN appears in the door and enters at once.

JOHN

Why, there you are, mother! I'm glad to see you. What's that there secret you're talkin' about?

MRS. JOHN
