MUSKERRY
Yes, ma'am.
MRS. CRILLY (with nervous excitement, restrained) No one of us will ever go near the place.
MUSKERRY
Well, you'll please yourself.
MRS. CRILLY
You put a slight on us all when you go there to live.
MUSKERRY
Well, I've lived with you to my own loss.
MRS. CRILLY Our house is the best house in the town, and I'm the nearest person to you.
MUSKERRY
Say nothing more about that.
MRS. CRILLY Well, maybe you do right not to live with us, but you ought not to forsake us altogether.
MUSKERRY
And what do you mean by forsaking you altogether?
MRS. CRILLY When you leave the place and do not even turn your step in our direction it's a sign to all who want to know that you forsake us altogether.
