CRAIG’S WIFE
Catelle
- You don’t know whether or not anybody from the outside has been in here since five o’clock?
Mrs. Craig
- Not to my knowledge; except a neighbor from across the avenue there, Mrs. Frazier. She brought some roses over to my husband’s aunt. She was here when I got in; although I scarcely think she would have used the telephone. But, I’ll ask Miss Austen if you like.
Catelle
- I wish you would, please, if you don’t mind.
Mrs. Craig (going to the stairway landing)
- Not at all. She’s up in her room I believe.
Catelle
- Would you mind asking her to step down here for a few minutes?
Mrs. Craig
- Yes, certainly. (Calling) Miss Austen!—Miss Austen!
- [There is the sound of a door opening somewhere upstairs.
Miss Austen (from upstairs)
- Is some one calling me?
Mrs. Craig
- Yes,—it’s me, Miss Austen. Would you mind coming down here for a minute or two, Miss Austen? I’d like to speak to you.
Miss Austen
- All right, I’ll be down in a moment.
- [Mrs. Craig turns to come down.
Mrs. Craig
- If you will, please. She’ll be right down.
