John: I don’t know.

[Mrs. Freeman comes in.

Mr. Freeman (family curiosity): Where’s Gwen?

Mrs. Freeman: Gone out to the car with Mr. Sewell. Are you going to stay, Frankie?

Frankie: I think I’d better go back with Dad.... Good night, Mrs. Freeman.

Mrs. Freeman: Good night, dear. (A kiss.)

Frankie: Good night, Mr. Freeman—good night, John.

John: Good night, Frankie.

[Gwen enters.

Gwen: What a topping car.
