ZACK. Yes, Paul. (He turns the handle once or twice, and is then occupied testing the result.)
MRS. MUNNING. Come here a minute, Paul. You're not that busy.
PAUL. I'm not busy at all. I just made a show of it before Virginia. A good thing she heard him talk like that.
MRS. MUNNING. I'll tell you something better for the business than Mr. Abbott's talk.
PAUL. If you'll tell me what it is that makes people say one thing of us one week and change their minds the next, you'll be doing me a good turn.
MRS. MUNNING. I'll do you a better turn. I'd a chat with Virginia in her room last night.
PAUL. I heard your voices going late. You kept me awake.
MRS. MUNNING. Well, it was worth it, Paul. I knew they were well off, but there's more than I thought. The girl's got money of her own besides her mother's.
(Zack turns the handle.)
PAUL. Some folk get all the luck.
