Miss R. There is not enough emotion in the climax: "Deep, deep are the mysteries of nature!" Read it (in a cellerage tone). "Deep, deep are the mysteries of nature!"
Maude (using the "vox humana stop"). "Deep, deep are the mysteries of nature!"
Mrs. De S. (soothingly). You are not doing so well, Maudie, today.
Miss H. No, I think you get worse.
Maude Nobody c-could! You all find fault. (weeps). You couldn't do any better–none of you–so there now!
Miss H. Never mind! It doesn't matter. Don't graduate.
Maude (still weeping). It does matter! It d-does! I don't want to disgrace the family.
Miss H. Ought to have commenced sooner, then, if you didn't!
Voice from without. Who's going to disgrace the family? I'd like to see 'em try it.
