MAGGIE. Then you've no business here, have you? (_Moves up to
doors and opens them_.)

ADA (_going to him_). Will, are you going to see me ordered
out?

WILLIE. It's her shop, Ada.

ADA. You mean I'm to go like this?

WILLIE. She means it.

ADA. It's cruel hard. (_Moves towards doors_.)

MAGGIE. When it comes to a parting, it's best to part sudden and

ADA. I'm not whimpering, and I'm not parting, neither. But he'll
whimper to-night when my mother sets about him. (_Slight
movement back to him_.)

MAGGIE. That'll do.

ADA (_in almost a scream_). Will Mossop, I'm telling you,
you'll come home to-night to a thick ear.

(_She goes_.)
