BUTLER. [_To the FOOTMAN._] Go and see if the carriage is there!
FOOTMAN. Yes, sir.
[_He goes out Left._
[_As PETER reenters from the back, with the water._
SUSIE. Quick now! Quick!
[_They stick one label on the big steamer trunk facing the audience._
PETER. I say isn't that great!
[_SUSIE giggles aloud with delight. The BUTLER, standing at one side, smiles. They put another label on the other trunk._
SUSIE. [_Giggling._] I heard them plan it,--they're taking one old trunk purposely so as people would not catch on they were just married!
[_Giggles delightedly._
[_The FOOTMAN reenters with a driver, Left._
FOOTMAN. Yes, sir, it's here.
BUTLER. [_To the driver._] You can take that first.
[_Pointing to the steamer trunk._
[_DRIVER goes out Left with it on his shoulder, and the portmanteau._
BUTLER. Now, James, you're to go over with the luggage to Twenty-third Street Ferry and check the heavy baggage; you know where to.
FOOTMAN. Yes, sir.
SUSIE. [_Eagerly._] Oh, _where to?_
BUTLER. I am hunder hoath not to tell, Miss.
SUSIE. O pis.h.!.+
[_Kneeling in the big arm-chair and watching proceedings from behind its back._
BUTLER. [_Continues to the FOOTMAN._] And wait with the checks and Mr.
Austin's dressing-bag-- [_Showing it._] --until they come.
FOOTMAN. Yes, sir.
PETER. And make haste, or, I say, somebody'll turn up and give our whole joke away!
[_The DRIVER reenters._
SUSIE. Yes, _do_ hurry!
FOOTMAN. [_To the DRIVER._] Come along.
[_They take the big trunk out Left. BUTLER follows with the dressing-bag._
MRS. CULLINGHAM. [_Calls from the room at back._] Peter darling, are you there?
SUSIE. Phew! Just in time!
[_Sliding down into a more correct position in the chair._
PETER. Yes, mother!
[_Going to back._
MRS. CULLINGHAM. [_In the doorway, at back._] Come, take these beautiful roses from Mrs. Tillman!
[_MRS. CULLINGHAM and MRS. TILLMAN enter._
MRS. TILLMAN. [_With her arms full of roses._] Thomas will take them down.
PETER. No, I'd like to. Aren't they bully?
[_He takes them._
MRS. CULLINGHAM. [_To MRS. TILLMAN._] Good-by, and thank you again. I know you must want to go up to Jinny.
MRS. TILLMAN. Yes, she may need me to help her a little. Good-by.
Good-by, Peter.
PETER. Good-by, ma'm.
[_MRS. TILLMAN goes out Right._
MRS. CULLINGHAM. Why, Susie, how do you do?
SUSIE. [_Glides out of the chair and stands before it._] How do you do?
[_Embarra.s.sed._
MRS. CULLINGHAM. You're a good little girl, I hope?
SUSIE. I don't! I hate good little girls!
MRS. CULLINGHAM. O my!
[_She goes out, laughing, Left._
