Mift. You may rely on my discretion, Mrs. Dunn.
Hel. Be prepared to leave with us, and have the children ready.
Mift. I’ll do my best, but she has set the dear pets against me. They won’t leave her side.
Car. (crosses R. to Helen) Oh, Helen, this is the bitterest blow of all.
Hel. (following Carrie down R.) Don’t despair Carrie. Miss Mifton is, as yet, new to them; you at least will be able to lure the darlings from the pernicious influence.
Crosses to table and gets hand-bag.
Corn. (aside) If I can get a chance, I’ll have my little business out with Miss Mifton at once.
Hel. (crossing back with hand-bag) We will see to the children ourselves, Miss Mifton. (crosses R. of Carrie) Come Carrie, we must first send to a Hotel and secure rooms! The very air here seems loathsome.
Helen exits with Carrie R. I. E.
Corn. Yes, there’s an escape of gas somewhere.
