Flo. Rachel, how do you like your first experience down South?
Rachel. It is all so odd.
Flo. Are you enjoying it?
Rach. Oh, so much. I always wanted to travel. I never hoped to get such a trip as this. The trees and everything are so different.
Flo. It is much stranger still in Mexico; if you could only have seen that.
Rach. I’ll never forget your kindness in giving me this trip.
Flo. Thank papa, Rachel, I was selfish and didn’t want any maid. It looks foolish for a girl like me to have a maid.
Rach. It’s no harm. Mr. Lawton wants you to get strong again.
Flo. (Rather sadly.) Rachel, don’t you think I am strong?
Rach. Oh, yes! You look much better lately.
