(Enter Miss Hoppenhoer, with shawls, salt bags, etc.)
Miss H. Jennie, you'd better go to bed.
Mrs. De S. (sadly). I will. I hope I shall not have an attack.
Miss H. Attack! We'll all have an attack before Friday night! (She busies herself about the couch. Valeria and Maude go out.)
Miss H. Now, can you walk, do you think? I'd better call Katherine, hadn't I? Katherine! Be careful of that bag–it's hot–awful hot! Lean on me–(they go out, but Miss Hoppenhoer runs back to pick up things).
Jack Can't I help you! A fellow never knows what to do when–when–anybody has an attack.
(Maude returns.)
Jack Come on, Maude, I've got an old tandem out there. Let's take a spin.
Miss H. (dropping a shawl and two bottles). Got a what?
