AUNT IDA. Celia! (CELIA _stops. Beckons to her tipsily_. CELIA _goes to her_.) Do you know something, Celia. I believe you're half in love with Smith. CELIA. (_Going back_ R.) You dear old goose, you don't know what you're talking about. I half in love with that man? Half in love with a man who has treated me as that man has done? Well--(_Going further_ R.)--I hope I'm not quite such a fool as that, Aunt Ida. AUNT IDA. Oh, oh, oh, oh! CELIA. (_With her back to_ AUNT IDA) Well, and if I were? Isn't it all the more reason for me to get out of this house before I make a bigger fool of myself? (_Goes to door_ R., _which she barely opens when_ AUNT IDA _stops her again_.) AUNT IDA. Celia!!! (CELIA _turns_.) I believe--I ought to lie down. CELIA. (_Lets the door slam to and rushes straight across the stage to_ AUNT IDA) No, Aunt Ida, dear, you can't do anything like that. You can sleep in the motor and in the train, but you must stay here while I'm gone and listen for Wilson's telephone message and write it down. AUNT IDA. It's no use. Just five minutes. I must lie down. CELIA. I won't be a minute. AUNT IDA. Now I'm getting cold. Put something around me. CELIA. Well, here. (_Puts screen in front of her_) This will keep off the draught and you can have the fresh air at the same time, and have a little nap while you're waiting. (_Speaking over, her shoulder, she goes_ R. _to door_) No one will disturb you, dear. I've locked that door and will take the key of this one with me, and I'll hurry back as fast as I can, Aunt Ida, just as fast as---- (_Exits quickly, locking door behind her_.) (_There is a pause. The faint toot of a motor horn is heard off_ L. AUNT IDA'S _hands are seen to grasp the top of the outer wings of the screen, one by one. Her head appears for a moment. She looks about tipsily and then drops suddenly out of sight again. After a pause, a second toot is heard_. AUNT IDA _rises slowly and carefully and comes out_ R. _of screen. She is extremely puzzled_.)
