GEORGE. And what's that?
DR. JONATHAN. Economic freedom, without which political freedom is a farce. Industrial democracy.
GEORGE. Industrial democracy! Well, it wasn't included in my education at Harvard.
DR. JONATHAN. Our education begins, unfortunately, after we leave Harvard,—with Bert and Jamesy and Minnie. And here's Minnie, now!
GEORGE (hastily). I'll beat it! Mother wants to talk to her.
DR. JONATHAN (his hand on GEORGE'S arm). No,—wait.
(Enter, lower right, AUGUSTA, followed by MINNIE FARRELL. MINNIE,
AUGUSTA'S back being turned toward her, gives GEORGE a wink, which
he acknowledges, and then glances toward DR. JONATHAN. AUGUSTA,
with her knitting, seats herself in an armchair. Her attitude is
somewhat inquisitorial; her tone, as she addresses MINNIE, non-
committal. She is clearly offended by MINNIE'S poise and good-
natured self-assertion.)
AUGUSTA. You remember Mr. Pindar, Minnie.
MINNIE (demurely). Glad to meet you again, Mr. Pindar. I hear you're going off to the war. Well, that's great.
GEORGE (squeezing her hand; she winces a little). Oh, yes,-I remember Minnie.
