GEORGIANA. I'm glad.
LOUISE. And I believe you'll be happy again.
GEORGIANA. Thank you, Louise!
[MRS. CARLEY _enters Right and sits by the table._
MRS. CARLEY. You back, Louise! I'm that tired, shopping. I'm buying
everything I can think of we'll be likely to need for months. There'll
be _no_ pleasure buying things when, instead of having them sent to 2
East 71st Street, we have to say 329 West 143rd!
GEORGIANA. [_Rises and goes back of the table._] Mother, dear, you may
not have to leave here after all!
MRS. CARLEY. What do you mean?
GEORGIANA. Louise will tell you. I've promised to sit through lunch with
the children this morning if you don't mind, and it's their hour.
MRS. CARLEY. But, Georgiana--
[_She is interrupted by a gesture and a glance from_ LOUISE _to let_
GEORGIANA _go._
GEORGIANA. [_Sweetly._] Yes? Do you want me for anything, dear?
[LOUISE _repeats the gesture, unnoticed by_ GEORGIANA.
MRS. CARLEY. Oh, no.
GEORGIANA. If you want me--
MRS. CARLEY. No.
GEORGIANA. Louise, I told Bella Shindle I'd help her get up an article
this morning on the drawing-room and dining room for her sister,--you
know--who has a friend who writes for the weekly papers.
