[_JINNY opens the double doors, looks in, and then enters. She is an
adorable little human being, pretty, high-strung, temperamental, full
of certain feminine fascination that defies analysis, which is partly
due to the few faults she possesses. She is, of course, dressed in
the conventional wedding-dress, a tulle veil thrown over her face._
JINNY. Not a soul! Come on!
[_She is followed in by the four BRIDESMAIDS--nice girls every one of
them--and also, very slyly, by SUSIE, a very modern spoiled child, who
sits unobserved out of the way at the back._
Now, my dears, I wish to say good-by all by ourselves so I can make you
a little speech! [_All laugh gently._] In the first place I want to tell
you that there's nothing like marriage! And you must every one of you
try it! Really, I was never so happy in my life!
GRACE. Must we stand, or may we sit down?
JINNY. Oh, stand; it won't be long and you'll only crush your lovely
frocks. In fact, I advise you not to lose any time sitting down again
until you've got the happy day fixed!
RUTH. You know, Jinny darling, that there is no one so glad for your
happiness as your four bridesmaids are--isn't that so, girls?
ALL.
