But oh, the pain of it!
To keep silent, year after year!
EVERITT
Look here, are we both crazy? Out with it!
MRS. EVERITT
_Annie Pratt!_
EVERITT
What? Who?
MRS. EVERITT
Annie Pratt!
EVERITT
Who the devil's Annie Pratt? What's she got to do with it?
MRS. EVERITT
Ha! Not faithful even to her! Or are you trying to lie out of it? You
can't, _because I've still got the letter_.
EVERITT
What letter? I'm not going to stand these hysterics any longer!
MRS. EVERITT
You needn't. But you've got to stand the truth, do you hear me? I found
the letter in your pocket. We hadn't been married a year. I was so happy!
Oh! Oh!
EVERITT
So was I happy, Oh! Oh!
MRS. EVERITT
Hypocrite! "Dearest Charlie: You said it is I who am your wife really,
because it's I who make you happy." Vile cat!
EVERITT
Annie Pratt, Annie Pratt. I remember her....
MRS. EVERITT
I should think you would! But any man who will--
EVERITT
Look here! I've got the whole thing! You found that letter in my pocket?
MRS. EVERITT
Yes I did.
EVERITT
Well, do you remember my quarrel with Charlie Fisher?
MRS.
