Lee (looking back and laughing). But soon! Good-night.

Cyn. Good-night. (Lee exits by stairs. She stands looking after him.) Well, Cynthia Tinker, maybe you ain’t such a fool after all!

CURTAIN

ACT II

SCENE.—Same as in Act I. The next morning.

(The table is set for breakfast. Cyn. and Lee are seated at the table. The center door is open. It is a bright sunlight morning.)

Cyn. More coffee, Mr. Gordon?

Lee (passing her his cup). Don’t care if I do, Miss Tinker. Do you know, I am positive that I am dreaming!

Cyn. I ain’t sure but I am myself. This has all been rather sudden.

Lee. That doesn’t express it, Miss Tinker. When I think of all the things that have happened since I left Orleans yesterday noon, I feel as if I had been struck by a landslide, and landed right side up in Paradise.
