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.
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.
