Bill. Can't I help him?

Peggy. No, dear—we've got to talk about this play we're writing. Here are the soldiers.

Bill. All right. (Exit Right.)

Peggy (goes to entrance Left where dishes are heard rattling). How are you making out?

Will (off Left). What do you think of my opening scenes?

Peggy. Why, I think they could be better. You see, Will, you don't really know anything about snow-shovellers or butlers.

Will (appears in doorway Left, wiping a dish). I've got a real character for the next scene at least. I used Bill!

Peggy. For heaven's sake!

Will. As a street-gamin.

Peggy. But Bill's not like a street-gamin. Such a child is full of slang.
