The same scene. Ellen and Mrs. Granahan seated near fire.

Ellen.

So Mr. Graeme is comin' over here to settle matters with father to-day do you say?

Mrs. Granahan.

Yes child, he's comin' to-day.

Ellen.

What is it all about?

Mrs. Granahan.

Well I suppose he's anxious to see what money is comin' to Robbie John. He doesn't want to throw his daughter away without askin' questions. I expeck she's well enough to do to marry anyone she likes, but he's a canny man.

Ellen.
