PAUL. Now, Zack. No. Wait a minute. Mother had best be in at this. (Opening door.) Mother!
VIRGINIA. And I had better not. (She follows to door.)
PAUL. Are you afraid to know the worst of him? (Call-ing.) Mother!
MRS. MUNNING (off). I'm coming, Paul.
VIRGINIA. Oh, Zack, Zack, I am so disappointed in you.
ZACK. I meant no harm, Virginia. It's a thing that's grown from nothing like, and I don't know how it grew so fast.
MRS. MUNNING (entering). What is it, Paul?
PAUL. Zack and Joe Wrigley's girl. Now go on, Zack. What have you done?
ZACK. I've got to speak it out before you all and with Virginia hearing, too?
