How do you do, Mrs. Warren? (MRS. WARREN: Oh, good afternoon. Do sit down, Mrs. Pickering.) Oh... my dear Mrs. Warren, I am so glad to see you looking so well. I thought perhaps--of course there is much sickness in Northampton now. ((She sits down.)) Much sickness. ((Pause.)) I just met Mrs. Lawty and she told me that Mrs. Hallway is almost dead with rheumatism... almost dead. In fact, I think they hardly expect her to live much longer. Of course, Mrs. Lawty didn't say so, but I implied as much from the tone of her voice. (MRS. WARREN: I heard it was nothing really serious.) Oh, dear, yes... very serious. I just had it from Mrs. Lawty, who had it from... from... from a most reliable source. Rheumatism is such a painful death, too. Oh, dear, poor soul... poor soul! ((MRS. WARREN hands her a cup of tea.)) Thank you so much.
