MINNIE. Thank God men are different!
(AUGUSTA rises. The ball of wool drops to the floor again, and DR.
JONATHAN picks it up.)
GEORGE. Mother, I'd like to tell you about it. You don't understand.
AUGUSTA. I'm afraid I do understand, dear.
(As she leaves the room, with dignity, GEORGE glances appealingly at
DR. JONATHAN.)
DR. JONATHAN (going up to MINNIE and taking her hand). Do you think you'd have time to drop in to see me, Minnie, before your train goes?
MINNIE (gazing at him; after a moment). Sure! I guess I'd like to talk to you.
DR. JONATHAN. It's the little white house across the Common.
MINNIE. Oh, I know, that's been shut up all these years.
DR. JONATHAN. And is open now again.
