Landlady. Dolly! Who's Dolly?
Will. Oh, I——(Laughs.) I beg pardon!
Peggy (laughing with him). You see, my husband's writing a play, and Dolly is one of the characters in it. We're putting you in, too.
Landlady. Me?
Peggy. Yes—I hope you won't mind. You see, he wanted somebody that was interesting, that people would like to see on the stage——
Will. And when it comes out you can go and see it.
Peggy. We'll get you tickets, you know.
Will. We'll be delighted to place a box at your disposal.
Landlady. Well, for the land's sake! (Beaming.) What sort of a character am I?
Will. Why, you're the landlady in the play; there's a poor family in distress, and you take pity on them, and help them in their trouble. It's very touching—everybody will be moved to tears by it.
