TOURNOUR (in a harsh voice, after looking around) Is he not back yet?
CHRISTY (without stirring) Is who not back yet?
TOURNOUR The master I'm talking about. I don't know where he does be going those evenings.
He shovels coal into the stove.
CHRISTY
And what is it to you where he does be going?
TOURNOUR Don't talk to me like that, young fellow. You're poorhouse rearing, even though you are a pet. Will he be sitting up here to-night, do you know?
CHRISTY
What's that to you whether he will or not?
TOURNOUR
If he's sitting up late he'll want more coal to his fire.
CHRISTY
Well, the abstracts will have to be finished to-night.
TOURNOUR Then he will be staying up. He goes out for a walk in the evenings now, and I don't know where he does be going.
