CRAIG’S WIFE
Harry
- Good evening.
Catelle
- Good evening, Ma’m. I called to see Mr. Craig.
Mrs. Craig
- Mr. Craig isn’t in just now, I’m sorry.
Catelle
- Are you Mrs. Craig?
Mrs. Craig
- Yes.
Catelle
- Have you any idea what time Mr. Craig’ll be in?
Mrs. Craig
- Why, I’m expecting him any minute; he was here less than a half-hour ago, when I went upstairs; so he must be right here in the neighborhood somewhere.
Catelle (consulting his watch)
- I see.
Mrs. Craig
- He’ll certainly be back for his dinner, at seven o’clock, if you’d care to call back.
Catelle
- Well, I’ve got to be over the other side of town at seven o’clock,—so it may be that you could give me the information I am looking for, as well as Mr. Craig. Would you sit down for a minute?
Mrs. Craig
- Yes, certainly.
- [She turns to the chair in front of the mantelpiece and sits down. Harry resumes his chair beside the piano, and Catelle sits on the small bench immediately above the center table.
