CULLINGHAM. Certainly!
JINNY. Good-by!
[_Taking his hand as he passes her._
AUSTIN. Good-by!
[_He goes out Right._
MRS. CULLINGHAM. If it's time for _him_, it's certainly time for _you_.
I won't keep you a minute!
JINNY. No, really we've plenty of time,-- [_both sit on sofa._] Wasn't
it a lovely wedding!
MRS. CULLINGHAM. I never saw a sweeter, my dear! And it was perfectly
elegant! Simply great!
JINNY. And isn't Jack--
MRS. CULLINGHAM. He is! And so are you! In fact I've been telling your
mother I don't know how to thank you both. You've asked me to-day to
meet the swellest crowd I've ever been in where I was _invited_, and
didn't have to buy tickets, and felt I had a right to say something
besides "excuse me," and "I beg your pardon." Of course, I've sat next
to them all before in restaurants and at concerts, but this time I felt
like the real thing myself, and I shall never forget it! If you or your
husband ever want any mining tips, come to me; what my husband don't
know about mines isn't worth knowing!
JINNY. I'm as glad as I can be if you've had a good time, and you
mustn't feel indebted to us.
