ASHER. What's this? Did you ask Minnie to leave Foxon Falls?
AUGUSTA. Asher, I'd like to talk with Minnie, if you don't mind.
ASHER (glancing at the two women). Well, I shan't forget what you've done, Minnie.
(He goes out, lower right.)
MINNIE (who is on the verge of losing her self-control). I didn't come back to Foxon Falls to talk to you again, Mrs. Pindar. I'm sorry, but I've got to go.
AUGUSTA. Where?
MINNIE. You didn't care yesterday—why should you care today?
AUGUSTA (with an effort). I ought to tell you that Dr. Pindar has declined Mr. Pindar's offer.
MINNIE. He isn't going to take charge of the hospital?
AUGUSTA. No.
