Bring her down with you. (SUSAN: If she'll come, I will.) (turns) Bring her down with you, whether she'll come or not, or take a month's warning. (SUSAN laughs) What are you laughing at? (SUSAN: That's the third time to-day you've given me warning.) (lifting hair-brush) I'll give you something else, if you're not quick. ((Exit SUSAN, L.C.)) I feel quite curious to see this girl Dick thinks is good enough to play my part. Some greenhorn at a pound or two a week, or Dick wouldn't have engaged her. No, she can't be a greenhorn. She doesn't eat: greenhorns do. And what did Susan say? She's always crying. Humph! She must be married. The old tale, I suppose. And yet people go on getting married. (rises; looks for puff) It's a funny world. What has that Susan done with the powder-puff? Hang the girl! I'll give her warning again as soon as she comes down. If I had a husband, I believe I should give him warning to-day. Brutes, all of 'em. ((Exit, R.C.))
