CURTAIN




ACT II

_The next day: The scene is as in previous Act. It is now in the
forenoon. Maire Hourican is seated at the fire in a listless attitude.
Anne is busy at the dresser. Maire rises_.

ANNE

MAIRE
Well, it was his own loss if he didn't come. Maybe there was
one there that I liked better.
