(TULLY shuts door.)

Now don’t leave that door whatever you do—and sing—sing! (JOHN goes to MAMIE, who is C.)

(TULLY stands close to door L. and singsThe Rosary.”)

MAMIE (anxiously). Jack, Jack! Did you get my letter?

JOHN. Your letter? What letter?

MAMIE (seeing TULLY, who is singing loudly). What’s that?

JOHN. It’s all right. He’s not listening.

MAMIE. I wrote you about the necklace.

JOHN. But I sent you word last week that the necklace was in the hands of the jeweller.
