Law. He is here on his wedding trip. In this hotel. Do you think Flossie would like to meet them?
Rach. I don’t know. It might worry her and—
Law. Recall the old times! Just what I thought. But then, she might be glad to see them. They were very kind to her. Rough people, but good as gold. He is putting on style. Best rooms in the house!
Rach. Hadn’t we better keep clear of them for a day or two and sort of prepare her for it?
Law. But how can you in a hotel like this? Everybody sees everybody else. If we weren’t fatigued already, I’d go on to Lake Worth to-day.
Rach. Then the best way is to ask her right out, whether she cares to see them.
Law. I know her answer. She’ll think it a duty.
Rach. The sooner the better then, I think.
Law. Very well, I’ll go and talk to her. (Exit D. F.)
Rach. Well aint that odder’n Dick’s hatband! The idee of meeting people from the four quarters of the globe. These tourists seem to keep on forever running to and fro on the earth. How can they afford it? Money goes like water! I never dreamed o’ such expense! (Sees oranges on table.) And an orange here aint nothin’ more than a potato was where I was raised. I’m going to take one! (Takes orange.)
