VICKEY. And that's the way you're going to live! With cast-off
furniture. (_Moves to window_, L.)

MAGGIE. Aye. In two cellars in Oldfield Road.

VICKEY _and_ ALICE. A cellar!

MAGGIE. _Two_ of 'em, Alice. One to live and work in and the
other to sleep in.

ALICE. Well, it 'ud not suit me.

VICKEY. Nor me.

MAGGIE. It suits me fine. And when me and Will are richer than
the lot of you together, it'll be a grand satisfaction to look
back and think about how we were when we began.

(WILL _appears_ R. _with two crippled chairs and begins to
cross the shop_.)

VICKEY (_stopping him_). Just a minute, Will. (_She
examines the chairs_.) These chairs are not so bad.

MAGGIE. You can sit on one to-night and see.

VICKEY. You know, mended up, those chairs would do very well for
my kitchen when I'm wed.
