JOHN. He did call—last Friday week, and I happened to be out. Just my luck. Pam saw him and made some excuse, and he said he’d call again. But he hasn’t been near the place since.

TULLY. Their idea is of course to tire you out.
JOHN. And we’ve got to be careful. Did you read about Dick Turner?
TULLY. He got his five hundred pounds out of them, didn’t he?
JOHN. Yes. But do you know the latest? They’re going to have him up for fraud.
TULLY. Oh, dear! dear! dear! What does Mrs. Ayers say about it?
JOHN. The Turner case has rather upset her. She’s terribly afraid of the law. If you mention the word she has a panic.
TULLY. So you see, good people are the happiest after all.
JOHN. But they don’t always look it. (Looks at TULLY with a grin.) Let me see now, it’s my call, isn’t it?
