Mrs. G. Oh, you have many years yet to live, aunt.
A. P. I can see well enough that I am getting old, and cannot live long, anyway. I get tired out very easy. I think I shall have to ask you to show me to the room I am to occupy, and I will lie down awhile. I aint much used to travelling, and it tires me.
Mrs. G. Shan’t I get you a cup of tea, aunt?
A. P. Oh, no. All I need is a little rest.
(Exit, R.)
Mrs. G. There, I think we have made a good impression. If she only makes a will in our favor, I shall consider the attentions we pay her a good investment.
C. But suppose she shouldn’t leave her money to us?
Mrs. G. Oh, don’t let your imagination run in that direction. We must manage to get into her good graces, so that we may become her heirs.
C. Well, I will do all I can to bring about so desirable a result.
(Exit Mrs. G., R. Curtain falls.)
