ANNA
Yes, mother.
MRS. CRILLY (again taking up a position) But if we help James Scollard to the place.
ANNA (with determination) Whether Mr. Scollard gets the place or does not get the place, I'll want my fortune, mother.
MRS. CRILLY Very well, Anna. If we could get him to come over. … (She sits in arm chair) There's a lamb in Ginnell's field; you might call in to-morrow and ask them to prepare it for us.
ANNA
Then grandfather is coming to dinner on Sunday?
MRS. CRILLY
We must get him to come.
Some one is coming up the passage. Anna's hand is on handle of door.
She holds it open. Thomas Muskerry stands there.
MUSKERRY (pleased to see her) Well, Nancy!
ANNA
Good night, grandpapa. (He regards her with fondness)
MRS. CRILLY
Good night, father.
