The Girl. I do! I do! (In the shadows they embrace and kiss).
The Organist (wearily as he bustles down the stairs). Why should I play any more for four people? It is nine o’clock. A half hour is enough. At least I can find a little comfort at the Crystal Garden. (He thinks of an immense beer place, and shrugs his shoulders the while. The old doorman, hearing him go out, prepares to put out the lights).
Mrs. Stillwater (rising). I do believe it’s over.
Mrs. Pence. Well, there are so few you can scarcely blame him.
The Bum (gloomily). Now I gotta find somepin’ else.
The Church Cat (prowling toward the organ loft in the dark of the closed church). Now for one more try at that mouse.
Finis.
Editorials and Announcement
Powys at the Hebrew Institute
On [page 43] there is announcement of a series of lectures by John Cowper Powys. I can hear him now on the philosophical basis of democracy: “My dear friends, the philosophical basis of democracy is individualism”! As to the Nietzsche and Dostoevsky lecture, you may count upon it being one of the memorable occasions of your life.
