Kitty (looks at Warren). Well—er—that is—er we—
Warren. Yes, er—we thought you weren't coming.
Miss M. Where are you going?
Kitty. We were going to a masquerade dinner dance, but now that you've come we'll stay at home.
Googin (to Miss M.). Ye'd better go to the dance, mum. Ye'll have the time of yer life. Faith, they've nothin' like it in Kankakee. Come on, Honoria.
Mrs. Googin. All of yeez come down and take tea wid me in the marnin' fer breakfast. Merry New Year and happy Christmas to all. I'm a lady and me mother was a lady before me, and I knows a lady whin I sees her. So I wish yeez all a happy Christmas and many of them. (Exits R. with Googin.)
Warren. Shall I send the taxi away, Kittens?
Miss M. I should say not. I'm going to that masquerade ball, if it's the last thing I ever do. That's why I came to New York. (Takes out purse.) Here's a hundred and twenty dollars. That's enough to see us through until breakfast, isn't it?
Kitty. We mustn't keep the taxi waiting. Come on, auntie. We're going to show you the time of your life.
Miss M. But I haven't any costume.
