I've
been honest enough.
BLANCHE. [_With a long sigh of relief._] Oh! I hope so!
MRS. HUNTER. [_Appearing in doorway at back._] The men are in the
drawing-room--shall we come _here_?
BLANCHE. Yes, we'll bring the others, mother. Come, Dick.
[_She goes out with_ MRS. HUNTER _at back._
STERLING. [_Goes to door Right, opens it, and calls._] Leonard!
[LEONARD _enters Right_
LEONARD. Yes, sir?
STERLING. Go up to my library at the top of the house, get a railroad
guide you will find there, and bring it down and put it on the table in
the hall just outside the drawing-room door.
LEONARD. Yes, sir.
STERLING. Then go to my room and pack my bag and dressing case. Do you
understand?
LEONARD. Yes, sir.
[_The women are heard singing "Follow the Man from Cook's," and
gradually coming nearer._
STERLING. Be quick, and say nothing to any one.
LEONARD. Yes, sir.
[_He goes out quickly Right._ STERLING _goes up stage and stands beside
the door at back as the women dance in, singing "Follow the Man from
Cook's." They are led by_ CLARA, _with_ MRS. HUNTER _on the end._
BLANCHE _and_ RUTH _follow alone, not dancing. The others dance around
the chairs and_ CLARA _jumps on and off one of them; this stops the
rest, who balk at it.
