Mrs. S. None as serious as this, I hope.
(Enter Bridget, R., bearing a letter, which she passes to Mr. S.)
Bridget. An’ here’s a letther the postman brought, sir.
Mr. S. (examines superscription, which he reads aloud). “Mr. John Smith, Taylor’s Block, Central Street, B——.”
(Exit Bridget, R.)
Mrs. S. Where is it from?
Mr. S. It is postmarked Ramsey, Minnesota.
Mrs. S. Have you acquaintances there?
Mr. S. It seems so, though I wasn’t aware of it.
Mrs. S. Do open the letter. I’m really curious to know whom it is from.
