Peale. God’s in His Heaven, all’s right with the world! (Crosses L.)

Rodney. Have you the money with you?

Ellery. Why, no.

Peale. Then you’ll send us a check to-day?

Ellery. I don’t get the money until next week.

Rodney. Why not?

Ellery. Father didn’t promise it to me till next Monday.

Peale. Well, ask him for it now.

Ellery. Oh, I’m afraid I can’t. He’s out of town.

Rodney. We can’t agree to hold the matter open until next Monday. (Goes to chair behind desk and sits)
