have it when Dolly gets home?

_Landlady._ Dolly! Who's Dolly?

_Will._ Oh, I----_(Laughs.)_ I beg pardon!

_Peggy (laughing with him)._ You see, my husband's writing a play,
and Dolly is one of the characters in it. We're putting you in, too.

_Landlady._ _Me?_

_Peggy._ Yes--I hope you won't mind. You see, he wanted somebody
that was interesting, that people would like to see on the stage----

_Will._ And when it comes out you can go and see it.

_Peggy._ We'll get you tickets, you know.

_Will._ We'll be delighted to place a box at your disposal.

_Landlady._ Well, for the land's sake! _(Beaming.)_ What sort of a
character am I?

_Will._ Why, you're the landlady in the play; there's a poor family
in distress, and you take pity on them, and help them in their
trouble. It's very touching--everybody will be moved to tears by it.

_Landlady (suspiciously)._ Well now, that's all right, but I have to
have my rent. I have to pay the agent for this house. If you can't
pay me, I have to ask you to move.
