Won't you sit down?
MARGARET [takes a chair]. What a beautiful cabinet!*

*What beautiful lamps! (In vaudeville production.)

HARRIET. Do you like it? I'm afraid Charles paid an extravagant
price.
MAGGIE [to HETTY]. I don't believe it.
MARGARET [sitting down. To HARRIET]. I am sure he must have.
HARRIET [sitting down]. How well you are looking, Margaret.
HETTY. Yes, you are not. There are circles under your eyes.
MAGGIE [to HETTY]. I haven't eaten since breakfast and I'm
hungry.
MARGARET [to HARRIET]. How well you are looking, too.
MAGGIE [to HETTY]. You have hard lines about your lips, are you
happy?
HETTY [to HARRIET]. Don't let her know that I'm unhappy.
HARRIET [to MARGARET]. Why shouldn't I look well? My life is
full, happy, complete ----
MAGGIE. I wonder.
HETTY [in HARRIET'S ear]. Tell her we have an automobile.
MARGARET [to HARRIET]. My life is complete, too.
MAGGIE. My heart is torn with sorrow; my husband cannot make a
living. He will kill himself if he does not get an order for a
painting.
MARGARET [laughs]. You must come and see us in our studio.
