Mrs. O'Toole. Sure, your family looks as though they were going out in society, Mollie Mulligan.
Mrs. Mulligan. They are that. They're on their way to the fine church entertainment at the Sunday School down the strate.
Nora (at door L.). Maw, here comes Matsy with the goat. (Looks out of door.)
Mrs. Mulligan (goes to door and speaks off L.). Matsy Mulligan, tie that goat in the back yard and tie all his four fate together. I'll tach him a lesson, if it's the last thing I ever do. Patsy, go out and help your brother tie up Shamus O'Brien. (Exit Patsy at L.)
Mrs. O'Toole. Nora Eudora, darlin', have ye got a sofy pillow handy. I think if I had a couple of sofy pillows I could set down and enjoy me tay.
Nora. Yis, mum. Here's two of 'em. (Arranges them in the chair.)
Enter Patsy and Matsy from L.
Matsy. Come on, all of yeez, or we'll be late for the show. And I don't want to miss nothin'.
Mrs. Mulligan (standing at R.). I think yeez are all ready now. Let me see if there's anyone missing. (Counting and pointing to each in turn.)
