Yes!
[_And they all together embrace JINNY, saying, "Dear old Jinny,"
"Darling Jinny," "We'll miss you dreadfully," etc., ad lib., till
they get tearful._
JINNY. Good gracious, girls, we mustn't cry. I'll get red eyes, and
Jack'll think what an awful difference just the marriage service makes
in a woman.
[_The doors at the back open, and AUSTIN appears in the doorway._
[_AUSTIN is a typical New Yorker in appearance, thirty-two years
old, good-looking, manly, self-poised, and somewhat phlegmatic in
temperament._
AUSTIN. Hello! May a mere man come in to this delectable tea party?
JINNY. _No_, Jack! But _wait_--by the door till I call you!
AUSTIN. [_Amused._] Thank you!
[_He goes out, closing the door._
GERTRUDE. We'll miss you so awfully, Jinny.
JINNY. Just what I say! Get a man to keep you company, and then you
won't miss any one.
BELLE. Yes, but attractive men with lots of money don't come into the
Grand Central Station by every train!
JINNY. [_Putting her arm about her._] You want too much, my dear Belle!
And you aren't watching the Grand Central Station either half so much
as you are the steamer docks for a suitable person.
