JOHN. You’ll split those pyjamas!
(TULLY gives JOHN key from door R.)
Is this the proper thing to do? (Drops key behind MAMIE on to arm-chair—as if down her back.)
JOHN. Ah! she’s coming round. No more tears! No more tears, little girl!
MAMIE (rises and puts arm on JOHN’S shoulder). No, no more tears, no more tears! (Turning R. she sees TULLY—and screams at sight of him—turns to JOHN.)
JOHN (leading MAMIE off into room R.). There, dear, no more tears, you come along into this room and you shall have the necklace, I promise you——
MAMIE. You really mean that, Jack——
JOHN. Of course I mean it—now come along.
(Exit MAMIE and JOHN room R.)
TULLY. Oh, Mrs. Ayers! (Going C. and singing:) “Oh dry those tears, oh calm those fears.”
