Going, Reba? Good night!

Reba

No, I'm not going. This is my last chance. You'll bar the window to-morrow.

Philo (determinedly)

Yes, I will.

(He bends closely over his work. She lies across the table opposite, watching his movements intently. He fumbles for a tool.)

Reba

The little one? Here it is!

(Hands him a small wire tool. He stares at her face so near his own, then takes the instrument and works confusedly. Jumps up and tries to reach a jar on one of the shelves. Reba leaps onto a chair, takes the jar and hands it down. He stares, and takes jar.)
