CARLEY.
GEORGIANA. I couldn't say good-by to you like that--I couldn't share my
good-by with mother; you understand that, don't you, Dick.
DICK. Yes, old girl, though if I had my way I wouldn't say good-by to
_you_ at all--I hate good-bys to people I care about.
GEORGIANA. Sit down just a few minutes.
[_They sit down by the table._
DICK. [_Sees the tie in her hands._] Busy making reins for Toots? What
an ugly color!
GEORGIANA. Is it? Well, it's a tie for you!
DICK. Oh--I mean it's ugly for reins, but perfectly lovely for a
tie--I'll take it with me.
[_Puts it in his pocket._
GEORGIANA. I wish I could go with you.
DICK. Don't you think you're needed here just at this moment?
GEORGIANA. Has Steve told you?
DICK. No, Coast did.
GEORGIANA. Don't you think I'm doing right?
DICK. If you love him, of course, old girl, you're doing right. I think
I must go now. [_Rises._] Good-by.
GEORGIANA. No, don't go yet, please. I can't bear to have you go.
DICK. It's good of you to care so much. [_Leans against the table._] You
know only yesterday I woke up and suddenly began to hope--
GEORGIANA.
