HETTY [towering over HARRIET]. He isn't! I'll kill you!
HARRIET [overpowered, sinks into a chair]. Don't—don't—you're stronger than I—you're——
HETTY. Say he's mine.
HARRIET. He's ours.
HETTY [the telephone rings]. There she is now.
[HETTY hurries to 'phone but HARRIET regains her supremacy.]
HARRIET [authoritatively]. Wait! I can't let the telephone girl down there hear my real self. It isn't proper. [At 'phone.] Show Mrs. Caldwell up.
HETTY. I'm so excited, my heart's in my mouth.
HARRIET [at the mirror]. A nice state you've put my nerves into.
HETTY. Don't let her see you're nervous.
