(Exit into room R.)

MAMIE. Well, come out here and talk to me. I won’t keep you long.

JOHN (spoken off). I can’t—I’m only half dressed.

MAMIE. Well, I’ll come in there. (Crossing to door R.)

JOHN. No, no, this is a bedroom.

MAMIE. I’m not afraid of bedrooms!

JOHN (spoken off). Give me a minute—just a minute!

MAMIE. Come out as you are. I’m not particular.

JOHN (spoken off). I won’t be two ticks.

MAMIE (loudly). Right-o! (Sits in arm-chair down R.C. and commences to powder her face.) I say, Jack! Do you know that you didn’t give me back the necklace last night!
