KATHLEEN Wisha, now! [_She goes into his bedroom._] MENDEL [_Turning apologetically to VERA_] I beg your pardon, Miss Andrews, I mean Miss--er---- VERA Revendal. MENDEL [_Slightly more interested_] Revendal? Then you must be the Miss Revendal David told me about! VERA [_Blushing_] Why, he has only seen me once--the time he played at our Roof-Garden Concert. MENDEL Yes, but he was so impressed by the way you handled those new immigrants--the Spirit of the Settlement, he called you. VERA [_Modestly_] Ah, no--Miss Andrews is that. And you will tell him to answer her letter at once, won't you, because there's only a week now to our Concert. [_A gust of wind shakes the windows. She smiles._] Naturally it will _not_ be on the Roof Garden. MENDEL [_Half to himself_] Fancy David not saying a word about it to me! Are you sure the letter was mailed? VERA I mailed it myself--a week ago. And even in New York---- [_She smiles. Re-enter KATHLEEN with the recovered candlestick._] KATHLEEN Bedad, ye're as great a shleep-walker as Mr. David! [_She places the candlestick on the table and moves toward her bedroom._] MENDEL Kathleen! KATHLEEN [_Pursuing her walk without turning_] I'm not here! MENDEL Did you take in a letter for Mr. David about a week ago? [_Smiling at MISS REVENDAL_] He doesn't get many, you see. KATHLEEN [_Turning_] A letter? Sure, I took in ounly a postcard from Miss Johnson, an' that ounly sayin'---- VERA And you don't remember a letter--a large letter--last Saturday--with the seal of our Settlement? KATHLEEN Last Saturday wid a seal, is it? Sure, how could I forgit it? MENDEL Then you _did_ take it in? KATHLEEN Ye're wrong entirely. 'Twas the misthress took it in. MENDEL [_To VERA_] I am sorry the boy has been so rude. KATHLEEN But the misthress didn't give it him at wanst--she hid it away bekaz it was _Shabbos_. MENDEL Oh, dear--and she has forgotten to give it to him. Excuse me. [_He makes a hurried exit to the kitchen._] KATHLEEN And excuse _me_--I've me thrunk to pack. [_She goes toward her bedroom, pauses at the door._] And ye'll witness I don't pack the candleshtick. [_Emphatic exit._]
