MAIRE
Sure Grace Moynihan asked us to go over.
ANNE
I'm shy of going into James'.
MAIRE
Anne, you're the only one of us that has any manners. Maybe
you're right not to go.
ANNE
I'll stay in to-night.
MAIRE
Then Brian and myself will go to Moynihan's.
ANNE
You'd get an indulgence, Maire, if you missed a dance.
MAIRE
Would it be so hard to get an indulgence? _(She takes flowers
from dresser and puts them in window)_ The house looks nice this
evening. We'll keep Brian here for a while, and then we'll go to
Moynihan's.
ANNE
Father will be going out to-night.
MAIRE
_(turning suddenly from window)_ Will he?
ANNE
He will. I think I ought to stay in. Maire, father was in only
a while before you the night before last and another night.
MAIRE
O, and I thinking things were going so well with us. He's
drinking again.
ANNE
He's going to Flynn's again.
MAIRE
Disgracing us again.
ANNE
I'll stay in to-night.
MAIRE
I'm tired of this.
ANNE
Don't say it that way, Maire.
MAIRE
What will people say of us two now?
ANNE
I'll talk to him to-night.
MAIRE
No, you're going out--you're going to Moynihan's--you're going
to see your sweetheart.
ANNE
I think you're becoming a stranger to us, Maire.
MAIRE
You're going to Moynihan's to-night, and I'm going, too. But I'm going
to settle this first. Once and for all I'm going to settle this.
