Johnson. No, Miss.
Mary. But I told you not to interrupt me until he did.
Johnson. I know, Miss, but it’s that Mr. Ambrose Peale again; he’s called four times.
Mary. Say that Mr. Martin will be back at eight o’clock.
Johnson. Yes, Miss. There’s a lady waiting, too, Miss, to see Mr. Martin Senior. Here’s her card.
Mary. Mme. la Comtesse de Beaurien. Tell her that Mr. Martin Senior can see no one.
Johnson. I can’t make her comprehend anything I say. She just sits and waits.
Mary. Oh, bring her in, then. I’ll make her understand somehow, but, Johnson, don’t fail to let me know the minute young Mr. Martin gets home.
Johnson. (Going to door up L.) Yes, Miss.
