JINNY. "Jinny"--don't change.
MRS. CULLINGHAM. Thank you-- [_Rises to go._] I was just saying we won't
forget in our social life, will we, Peter, that Miss Jinny gave us the
biggest boost up we've had yet?
[_JINNY also rises._
PETER. Well, you know, mother, I don't think the game's worth the
candle. It's begun to pall on me already.
MRS. CULLINGHAM. I really think he's going to be superior to it!
PETER. I only go now for your sake.
[_MRS. TILLMAN, coming from Right, speaks off stage._
MRS. TILLMAN. Jinny! Jinny!
JINNY. Mother!
[_MRS. TILLMAN enters._
JINNY. I ought to dress?
MRS. TILLMAN. [_To MRS. CULLINGHAM._] She'll be late if she isn't
careful.
JINNY. I'm going to. Is Maggie there?
MRS. TILLMAN. Yes, waiting!
JINNY. Good-by. [_Kisses MRS. CULLINGHAM._] Good-by. [_Shakes PETER'S
hand._]
PETER. Many happy returns!
[_JINNY goes out Right._
MRS. TILLMAN. Come, I want to give you some of Jinny's flowers to take
home with you. Would you like some?
MRS. CULLINGHAM. I should love them!
[_They go out through the doors at back.
