You'll be interested in him . . . it's quite a story. It was last election day. . . [The bell rings.] JULIA. Ah, there's somebody. [She goes to the door; calls.] Is that you, Miss Hegan? LAURA. [Off.] Yes, it's I. JULIA. You found your way, did you? LAURA. Oh, no trouble at all. [Enters, a tall, stately girl, about twenty-three; simply but elegantly clad.] How do you do? JULIA. I am so glad to see you. Jack, this is Miss Hegan. Mr. Bullen. LAURA. How do you do, Mr. Bullen? JACK. I am very glad to meet you, Miss Hegan. JULIA. Let me take your things. |
