CRAIG’S WIFE
Craig
- What did she want you to consider?
Ethel
- Well, she said on account of my age she didn’t think I appreciated the practical side of marriage enough.
Craig
- That’s the one side of marriage that should not be appreciated too much, Ethel; it’s a lack of faith in each other.
Fredericks
- That’s what I tell Ethel.
Craig
- The only thing I think you need to consider really seriously—is whether or not you are both absolutely honest with each other. (Fredericks looks at Ethel, and Craig crosses below them towards the stairs) It doesn’t seem to me that there’s very much else to worry about.
Ethel
- We’re going back on that nine-seventeen, Uncle Walter; do you know the number of the taxicab company?
Craig (starting up the stairs)
- You won’t need a taxi, I’m going right down past the station.
Ethel
- Are you going now?
Craig
- Right away, yes. I’ll get my hat. You have plenty of time; I can get you down there in less than ten minutes.
Ethel
- Uncle Walter, will you bring my satchel down when you’re coming?
