NATHANIEL
I'll give you an overcoat, Hank.
HANK
No, thanks. It's too hot to carry it. I'll get one when I really need it, maybe.
NATHANIEL
Well, here's something for you.
[He offers him a five dollar bill.
Five dollars! No, thanks. If I had that much money I'd lose it maybe. Give me two bits and call it square.
[Nathaniel hands him a quarter.
Thanks.... Well… good-bye.... I'm glad your back wasn't broke.
JONATHAN
Good-bye, Hank.
HANK
Good-bye, Mister.... I'll see you next year maybe, when it's warm.—Say, kid, I'd like to see that Zenobia show again:—"Hail, noble duke," "All's well, Irene." "Not very well, noble duke."
[He goes out, chuckling to himself.
Aunt Letitia enters. As usual she has something to keep her hands busy. She seats herself comfortably in a chair that custom has evidently made her very own. In her work she shows the effect of time upon her eyes and she may feel a tiny draught that causes her to close the doors behind her and draw her scarf a bit more closely about her. Never has Aunt Letitia seemed more successfully the poor relation.
LETITIA
I thought you were out with John.
NATHANIEL
No.
[Jonathan is looking at the manuscript.
LETITIA (to Jonathan)
How do you feel, dear?
JONATHAN
Fine;… I think I'll go in the house and read this.
(To Nathaniel)
I'm glad it isn't true.
[He goes out.
NATHANIEL
It's the story of his delirium. I thought it would interest him—and relieve him.
LETITIA
Has John gone?
NATHANIEL
Only for a stroll—the doctor's orders.
LETITIA
Well?
NATHANIEL
Well?
LETITIA
Sit down.
NATHANIEL
In John's chair?
LETITIA
If you wish.
NATHANIEL
John's chair! The throne of the head of the family! (He sits in John's chair) Well?
LETITIA
Nathaniel dear, you are making John very unhappy.
NATHANIEL
And John has made me very unhappy, dearest Aunt Letty.
I'll give you an overcoat, Hank.
HANK
No, thanks. It's too hot to carry it. I'll get one when I really need it, maybe.
