MAMIE. That is Mrs. Ayers—now you can give me the necklace.
JOHN (back to MAMIE). That’s impossible. I don’t want her to know you’re here.
MAMIE (raising her voice). But it doesn’t matter if she thinks I am Mrs. Tully!
TULLY. (crosses to JOHN). I object to that being shouted broadcast.
JOHN (to TULLY). You keep quiet! (To MAMIE.) You see, he objects—and don’t be so unfeeling. We’re expecting the doctor here at any minute, I’m as ill as I can be, and Tully may be operated on at any moment.
(Grimaces from TULLY.)
MAMIE. I don’t care who’s operated on. I’m not going home without that necklace. (Almost in tears.)
JOHN. Can’t you see the trouble we’re in?
MAMIE. There’ll be worse trouble when the Rajah arrives.
