ALICE
Do I?
MRS. EVERITT
Was I like that?
EVERITT
Of course you were.
ALICE
Oh, I'm glad!
MRS. EVERITT
Thank you, dear, but you're not half so glad as I am.
EVERITT
It's queer, there used to be a fine old stock up in this country. It seems to have died out. The people here don't half appreciate the place.
MRS. EVERITT
But you haven't seen many of them, have you?
EVERITT
No, I talked with some in the bar room.
ALICE
Oh, the bar room?
EVERITT
Yes, I know. One can't judge from that. A filthy place--it made me ashamed of drinking. I only went in hoping to see some of the people I used to know.
MRS. EVERITT
Oh!
WALTER
Where's my portfolio?
MRS. EVERITT
In the office, with those hand bags we decided not to open.
WALTER
I'm going to get it. I just had an idea.... (_He goes out_)
EVERITT
It's only ten o'clock, but it seems like midnight.
ALICE
So it does. Are we going on to-morrow? Will the car be all right?
EVERITT
George says so. To-morrow? I suppose so.
ALICE
Well, I'm going to bed.
MRS. EVERITT
I hope Harold is asleep. Good night, dear.
EVERITT
Good night, Mary.
ALICE
You said "Mary."
EVERITT
Did I? Well, you might be, for all that.
ALICE (_leaving_)
Good night.
EVERITT
If she had on that blue dress you used to wear, your own mother couldn't tell you apart.
MRS. EVERITT
Charles.
