KATE. I do. It's nothing to brag about, but it's a job.

TIPPY. Private industry or relief?

KATE. [Indignantly.] Relief? Certainly not. It's real work.

TIPPY. With real money--that's great.

KATE. Oh, it's nothing fancy; but it'll pay enough for Ted to live better than he has been living.

[TED doesn't grow enthusiastic, and KATE becomes resentful. Sensing this, TIPPY keeps up the badinage.]

TIPPY. How many questions will you give me to name the job?

KATE. Oh, you'd never guess it.

TIPPY. Come on, Ted, we'll alternate and spot it in ten questions. I'm first. Is it indoors or out?

KATE. In.
