Doctor. Flo! My darling, won't you give me one word?
Flora. Brute!
(Exit Flo. into bathroom, banging door after her.)
Doctor. Got it!
Aurora. Oh, sir, what 'ave you been a-doin' of?
Doctor. Don't ask silly questions. Do as you're told. I don't know what it is, but do it!
Aurora. (aside) If the missus sees these she'll turn the dear doctor into the street. I know she will! But she shan't see 'em, if I can 'elp it. (hugs them closely) It's all for 'im! Oh, ain't they wet, but they can't squelch the flame that's burnin' 'ere for the dear doctor. (coming down) I must tell him, I must! (throws wet clothes down on stage)
Mrs. O'H. (heard off) H'Aurora!
Aurora. Yus, mum! (hides clothes behind her)
(Enter Mrs. O'Hara.)
