Mrs. T. There certainly is something going on that I cannot understand. (to Daisy) Did you send Pete for that policeman?
Daisy. No, ma'am, I could not find him.
Helen. That's just like him. He's never around when he's wanted.
Miss A. Sister, something must be done, or I'll not sleep in this house to-night.
Mrs. T. (to Daisy) Go and see if Pete is anywhere around now, and if you find him send him for an officer at once.
Daisy. Yes, ma'am. (Exit, L. 2 E.)
Mrs. T. Brother, are you sure you saw a colored woman?
Deacon. Didn't I tell you I did? Do you think I'm blind? Confound it! (wipes lips with handkerchief) I saw her too plainly for comfort. I wish I had her now. I'd wring her neck off. Blast her buttons!
Miss A. Deacon, I fear you are forgetting yourself.
Mrs. T. Brother! Brother!
