TILLMAN. [_With tears in her eyes._] Yes, it's written down!
JINNY. You can tell father, but no one else!
[_Hugs and kisses her mother._
TILLMAN. Come, Susan! They'll lose their train!
[_JINNY again embraces her father._
ALL. Good-by! Good-by!
[_JINNY, starting to go with AUSTIN, suddenly leaves him and runs back
again to her mother and throws herself in her arms. They embrace, in
tears._
JINNY. Good-by, mother!
MRS. TILLMAN. Good-by, my darling!
TILLMAN. Come, come! they'll lose their train!
[_JINNY runs to AUSTIN, and with his arms about her, they hurry to
the door Left. They go through the doors at back to window in the
corridor. JINNY stops at the door and she and AUSTIN face each other
a moment._
JINNY. [_Looking up at him._] Oh, Jack!
[_She throws her arms about his neck and buries her face on his
shoulder._
AUSTIN. Jinny, Jinny dear, you're not sorry?
JINNY. [_Slowly raises her head and looks at him, smiling through her
tears, and speaks in a voice full of tears and little sobs._] Sorry? Oh,
no! Oh, no! It hurts me to leave them, but I never was so _happy_ in my
life!
[_He kisses her and they hurry out, with his arm about her.
