JOHN (to MAMIE). Excuse me a moment.
TULLY (to JOHN). Doctor Green was out, but they’ll send him round directly he comes back. He’s out on a case—about a poor little woman—a poor little woman—(whispers in JOHN’S ear) who . . . (then aloud) both—both doing well.
JOHN. Well, that’s more than we can say. Now I must go and finish dressing, or rather undressing. (Sees MAMIE.) Oh, let me introduce you to little Mamie Scott.
TULLY (alarmed). Is she—is she—fast!
JOHN. Fast?
TULLY. Is she a hussy?
JOHN. You’ll like her immensely, come on.
TULLY (in terror). No, no! I couldn’t. I’ve never spoken to anyone like that in my life.
JOHN (taking hold of TULLY). Don’t be a fool.
TULLY. Oh, no, no! What would they think of me down at the Mission—besides I wouldn’t know what to say to her.
