DR. JONATHAN. Sasenoshky—in the American army.
WOMAN (proudly). Yes, he is good American now,—he fight to make them free in the old country, too.
DR. JONATHAN. Well, we'll have a look at the baby. He may be in the White House some day—President Sasenoshky! I'll be back, Asher.
(The noon whistle blows.)
ASHER. That's the signal! I'll get along, too.
DR. JONATHAN. Where are you going?
ASHER. I guess it doesn't make much difference where I go.
(He walks out, followed by DR. JONATHAN and the WOMAN. The room is
empty for a moment, and then MINNIE FARRELL enters through the
opposite door, left, from DR. JONATHAN'S office. She gazes around
the room, and then goes resolutely to the bench and takes up several
test tubes in turn, holding theme to the light. Suddenly her eye
falls on GEORGE'S letter, which ASHER has left open on the bench
with the envelope beside it. MINNIE Slowly reaches out and picks it
up, and then holds it to her lips... She still has the letter
in her hand, gazing at it, when AUGUSTA PINDAR enters, right.)
AUGUSTA. Oh, I thought Mr. Pindar was here!
MINNIE. Perhaps he's been here—I don't know. I just came in. (She hesitates a second, then goes to the bench and lays the letter down.)
