MAIRE Anne, you're the only one of us that has any manners. Maybe you're right not to go.
ANNE
I'll stay in to-night.
MAIRE
Then Brian and myself will go to Moynihan's.
ANNE
You'd get an indulgence, Maire, if you missed a dance.
MAIRE Would it be so hard to get an indulgence? (She takes flowers from dresser and puts them in window) The house looks nice this evening. We'll keep Brian here for a while, and then we'll go to Moynihan's.
ANNE
Father will be going out to-night.
MAIRE (turning suddenly from window) Will he?
ANNE He will. I think I ought to stay in. Maire, father was in only a while before you the night before last and another night.
MAIRE O, and I thinking things were going so well with us. He's drinking again.
ANNE
He's going to Flynn's again.
