Much obliged.
DICK. And good-by.
[_Shakes hands._
GEORGIANA. [_Rises._] Not now, for good.
DICK. [_Laughing._] Oh, no, we aren't off for ten days yet. But I wanted
to tell my old pal first.
GEORGIANA. That was good of you. And you'll come in often before you go,
won't you, Dick?
DICK. You bet! Every chance I get.
[_Both go up to the window. He has meant to go, but she manoeuvres him
to the big seat instead._
GEORGIANA. And anything I can do for you?
[_She sits._
DICK. [_Sitting beside her._] Oh, I don't think there can be anything.
GEORGIANA. Oh, yes, there is always something women can do for men who
go away to fight. They make things! Let me make something for you.
DICK. Can't think of anything. Got everything I want.
GEORGIANA. You're a lucky man to have everything you want--and going off
to the Philippines with a jolly crowd of friends and glad you're going!
I take back all my sympathy, and I wouldn't make you anything now if you
asked me to.
DICK. And, by George, just when I'd thought of something.
GEORGIANA. What?
DICK. [_Laughing._] A court-plaster case!
GEORGIANA.
