Oh, very well. How's your mamma, Elaine? Is she going to the big ball to-morrow? (ELAINE: Yes, ma'am.) We feel dreadfully. Philip's mamma's illness prevents our going. (ELAINE: Mamma said you weren't invited.) (Pats PHILIP on the head, to his great disgust and discomfort.) Your mamma had better mind! Your mamma is mistaken! Good-by, children, grandma is sorry she can't stay and have a good time with you. I am going to call, Elaine, on the Countess of Worling, Mrs. Tom Cooley's daughter. I don't think your mother knows them. Good-by, dears, enjoy yourselves. [ (She goes out Left.) [Silence till the door is well shut behind grandma, and then the children break out with shouts, all of them, of "Good-by, Grandma. Good-by," repeated ad lib. Then they calm down.
