WALTER
Only what?
EVERITT
She looked just as Mary did when I first knew her. It startled me.
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.
