MUSKERRY
I wish I could get one before I leave this place.
CHRISTY
Will I run off and get one for you?
MUSKERRY
Would you, Christy? Would it be too much trouble?
Muskerry rises.
CHRISTY
I'll go now.
MUSKERRY You're a very willing boy, Christy, and you're sure to get on. (He goes to a little broken mirror on the wall) I am white and loose of flesh, and that's not a good sign with me, Christy. I'll tell you something. If I were staying here to-night, it's the pauper's bed I'd have to sleep on.
Mrs. Crilly comes to the door.
MRS. CRILLY
Well, I see you're making ready for your departure.
MUSKERRY (who has become uneasy) I am ready for my departure.
MRS. CRILLY
And this young man has come for you, I suppose?
