JOHN. What do you want a bodice for?
TULLY. For all this part. (Pointing to chest.)
JOHN. I’ll go and get a bodice off Ursula. Meanwhile you go into the bedroom and get into these clothes as quickly as you can. Shave your top lip clean. Don’t forget the cushions. Arrange them—diplomatically—you know—come out and go in—and all that sort of thing, and I’ll go and get the bodice.
(JOHN exits door R.)
TULLY. I don’t know where a woman comes out and goes in!
(Stands looking round hopelessly, then goes to door L., opens door and is about to enter bedroom. AUNT HANNAH screams off. TULLY shuts door quickly, rushes up to window L. Crash of falling flower-pots heard off R. TULLY drops clothes, etc., and rushes to door R. MAMIE enters windows R.C. breathless and excited.)
MAMIE. Oh, there you are, Bertie! Where’s Jack? Where is he?
TULLY (coming C.). Somewhere in the house.
MAMIE. Is there anyone else in the house besides Jack?
TULLY. Only the maid—and Bogie.
