[_PETER is suffering with indigestion. He takes a charcoal tablet, and
SUSIE cautiously enters Right._
SUSIE. There you are! Have you got 'em?
PETER. No, I gave them back to you.
SUSIE. Then they're in there on the table--get 'em quick, the trunks are
coming down now!
[_PETER goes out quickly at back, as the BUTLER and MAN SERVANT enter
Right, carrying a large new trunk with a portmanteau on top of it._
SUSIE. Put them right over there for a minute! [_They put them down in
the centre of the room, and the FOOTMAN goes out Right._] And mind, you
don't split on us, Thomas. Auntie Tillman knows all about it--it's just
to be a nice little surprise for Cousin Jinny and my new uncle.
BUTLER. Very well, miss.
[_He also goes out Right._
[_At the same time PETER reenters at back with a roll of papers and
some broad white satin ribbon. The papers are about half a foot broad
and two feet long, and on them is printed, "We are on our honeymoon."_
PETER. [_With gay excitement._] I've got 'em.
SUSIE. Get some water--there's sticky stuff on the back!
[_PETER gives her the papers and ribbons and goes out again at back.
