SUSIE. Quick! [_Ties a big white bow on the portmanteau and on a trunk
handle._] If Auntie Tillman sees 'em, I'll bet she'll grab 'em off.
She'll be as mad as _hops_!
[_The BUTLER and FOOTMAN reenter Right, and bring down an old steamer
trunk and a gentleman's dressing-bag._
BUTLER. [_To the FOOTMAN._] Go and see if the carriage is there!
FOOTMAN. Yes, sir.
[_He goes out Left._
[_As PETER reenters from the back, with the water._
SUSIE. Quick now! Quick!
[_They stick one label on the big steamer trunk facing the audience._
PETER. I say isn't that great!
[_SUSIE giggles aloud with delight. The BUTLER, standing at one side,
smiles. They put another label on the other trunk._
SUSIE. [_Giggling._] I heard them plan it,--they're taking one old trunk
purposely so as people would not catch on they were just married!
[_Giggles delightedly._
[_The FOOTMAN reenters with a driver, Left._
FOOTMAN. Yes, sir, it's here.
BUTLER. [_To the driver._] You can take that first.
[_Pointing to the steamer trunk._
[_DRIVER goes out Left with it on his shoulder, and the portmanteau.
