Matt. Certainly!

Lucas. I've got a jolly long ride, I'll take three if you don't mind.

Matt. Do!

Lucas. Thank'ee. Well, good-night, everybody.

[Matt gets Lucas off, closes door after him.

Renie. [Rouses herself from sofa.] Has he gone? Is it all over?

Dolly. I hope so. [Goes and rings bell twice.

Renie. [Goes to Matt impulsively—and seizes his hand.] At least this bitter experience has gained me one true friend.

Matt. [Embarrassed.] Yes——

Renie. [Wrings his hand in gratitude.] Thank you so much——
