Googin (at rear L. with Warren). And nather do I.
Mrs. Googin. The ould bachelor in Apartment F gave me a fine prisint. I brung it up to show yeez. (Shows fancy waste basket, tied with ribbon bows.) It's a new bunnet. (Puts it on her head.) Sure, that's a Christmas prisint that touches me heart.
Kitty. I'm going to give you that picture. (Points to crayon portrait.)
Mrs. Googin. The picture of the ould lady, is it?
Kitty. Yes. It's a lovely frame.
Mrs. Googin. And it's a nice lookin' ould lady, too. She looks a little like me own mother, who before she was married to a Mulvaney was a McShane.
Kitty. Warren, take it down.
Warren. With pleasure. (Takes picture down.)
Mrs. Googin (taking the picture). Sure, I have no picture of me own mother at all, at all. More's the pity. I'll jist take this picture and then I'll be after tellin' all me frinds that it is a likeness of me mother who was a McShane from County Kilkenny. (Sits R.)
Googin. Would ye decave yer frinds, Honoria?
