ROSALIE. Well, miss, since you ask it, I will stay.
(MISS EASTWOOD _laughs. She and_ TRENT _go up_ L. CROSBY _is by chesterfield_ C. MASON _below table_ R. MRS. CROSBY _is seated at lower end of table_. MRS. TRENT _comes to arm-chair_ L.C. _and sits_.) MRS. CROSBY. I'm very glad. Really I'm greatly interested. ROSALIE (_crosses_ R.). Thank you, madame. CROSBY (_coming down_ C.). I think after what we've seen, we must ask Madame la Grange to submit to certain conditions. ROSALIE. Anything at all, sir--anything at all. MASON (_down_ R.). I agree with you. Frankly this woman impresses me. I think this test should be taken seriously. (MISS EASTWOOD _at the_ L. _end of the chesterfield, laughs_.) WALES (L.C.). Just what I was going to say. CROSBY (R.C.). If you will submit to the conditions we impose, Madame la Grange, and then show us any manifestations, I will never scoff at anything again. ROSALIE. Scoffing is the easiest thing anybody can do. (CROSBY _crosses down_ R. _below table_.) |
