CINDERELLA. Have you any in the house?
MRS. M. There’s what was left over of the powders my lodger had when the kettle fell on his foot.
CINDERELLA. You could give him one of them when the cough is troublesome. Good night, Mrs. Maloney.
MRS. M. Thank you kindly. (She puts a penny on the table.)
CINDERELLA (with polite surprise). What’s that?
MRS. M. It’s the penny.
CINDERELLA. So it is! Good night, Mrs. Maloney.
MRS. M. Good night, Cinders.
(She departs. The penny falls into CINDERELLA’S box with a pleasant clink.)
