Hilda. Horrible? I think it's splendid!
All. Splendid?
Hilda. It was an adventure. I'd never had one before; and, mother, he was so handsome!
Mrs. T. The robber?
Hilda. No, no, the man who caught him. He was so big and masterful—quite the most attractive man that I have ever seen.
Mrs. T. (glancing apprehensively at Prof. G.). Hush, dear, hush. You are all unstrung. You must lie down for a few moments. (Draws Hilda toward l.) You'll excuse us, Professor?
Prof. G. Certainly. (Rises affably). I trust that our dear young lady will suffer no ill effects from this experience.
Mrs. T. Sue, will you please bring Hilda's wraps?
(Sue rises and gathers up Hilda's belongings. Exeunt Mrs. T., Hilda and Sue, l. Prof. G. watches them from door.)
