GEOFFREY. Sh! Jinny, dear old sister! I'll miss _you_! By George, Jin,
the house'll be awful without--but you-- [_His voice grows husky._]
--just excuse me a minute!
[_He is about to break down, and so hurries out Right._
JINNY. [_Sniffling._] He was going to cry! Oh, Jack, you'll be a brother
to Geoffrey, won't you? You know he's been awfully dissipated, and he's
changed it all, all by himself! _If he should go wrong again_--I believe
it would break my heart, I love him so!
AUSTIN. I'll do _more_ for him, if he ever needs me, than if he were _my
own_ brother, because he's _yours_!
JINNY. [_Presses his hand and looks up at him lovingly and gratefully._]
Thank you. Wait here just a minute; I know he won't come back to say
good-by. He's gone up to his room, I'm sure--I'll just surprise him with
a hug and my hands over his eyes like we used to do years ago.
[_She starts to go out Right, and meets MR. and MRS. TILLMAN, who
enter._
TILLMAN. The carriage is here!
JINNY. I won't be a second--
[_She goes out Right._
MRS. TILLMAN. Where has she gone?
AUSTIN.
