Gertrude.

Yes, yes, dear; you are just in time to dress my hair. Have you hairpins?

Marie.

[Shaking her head.] I will get some. [Reels.]

Gertrude.

[Affectionately.] What's the matter, dear? Oh, you must be tired!

Marie.

I am not tired.

Gertrude.

Yes, yes, you are. Now you sit down here. I will fetch them myself. [Quick exit.]
