Warren. I'm glad she decided not to visit us this year. Money is scarce at the end of the month and she's better off in Kankakee. New York isn't any place for Aunt Minerva on Christmas Day.
Kitty. I'm afraid auntie's gait is not quite up to New York in the holiday season.
Warren. I think I'll try on my costume. Are you sure I can get into the ruff now?
Kitty. Oh, yes. Wasn't that stupid of me? Just like making a skirt and then sewing up the top of it. (Exit Warren at L.)
Enter Googin from R.
Googin. Sure, it's a sad time we're havin' down in the basement.
Kitty. What has happened?
Googin. Herself has locked the door of the apartment and divil a bit will she open it at all.
Kitty. Why, Mr. Googin!
Googin. I'm in a pretty pickle now. All me money is locked up in me house with Honoria. You could be doin' me a great favor, if ye would, Mrs. Williams, mum.
