HENRY

Nettie, there, is just the same as my own. I adopted her legal, when I married Emma.

EMMA

Of course you did. Your mother’s too—just a woman to make distinctions!

NETTIE

Yes, and the funny part of it is grandma may leave me a whole lot, for all any of you know.

ELLA

Nonsense! She’ll divide equally between us three; won’t she, Henry?

HENRY (sadly)

She’ll do as she pleases, I guess we all know that.
