MRS. AUSTIN. Oh!
JIM. It would have been the first thing I've had since the day before yesterday.
MRS. AUSTIN. What's the matter?
JIM. No work. [A pause.] I suppose you'll give me the old gag... there's plenty of work for a man that's willing.
MRS. AUSTIN. No, I happen to have studied, and I know better than that. Else I should have fainted when I saw you... instead of sitting here talking to you.... Do you drink?
JIM. Yes, but I didn't use to. Any man would drink... that went through what I did.
MRS. AUSTIN. Are you married?
JIM. Yes... I was married. My wife is dead.
MRS. AUSTIN. Any children?
JIM. Two. Both dead.
