Peale. I’ll bet she sank in mid-ocean!

Miss Burke. (Entering) Mr. Ellery Clark to see you.

Rodney. How I hate that fellow!

Peale. What’ve you ever done to him?

Rodney. Nothing. I wish I could. That’s the fellow I told you about. John Clark’s pride.

Peale. Oh, yes, the son of Ivory Soap. Let’s have a peek at him?

Miss Burke. Yes, sir. (She exits)

Peale. I never saw a model son before.

Mary. (She starts down R.) Oh, Rodney, find out how Ellery’s doing in business, will you?

Rodney. Oh, I suppose so.
