Zack (_fingering his coat_). I'm not dressed up for a parlour tea. I---- Eh? (_Paul is taking the model from under Zack's arm._) Oh, yes. Do you know where I found that? Mrs. Munning. Put it down. Zack (_up to window with it_). I'll put it in its place. But do you know where I found it? Mrs. Munning. Never mind, Zack. It doesn't matter. (_To Jenny._) It's only a little window ornament, Jenny. Zack (_imperviously_). I found that on the kitchen dresser. Picked it up as I came through. (_Sally enters. Mrs. Munning's feelings get too much for her. She rises to meet Sally. Paul sees and distracts Virginia's attention._) Paul. Will you have more bread and butter, Jenny? Virginia. Thank you, Paul. Sally. I can't find---- (_Seeing Zack._) Oh, there you are! Mrs. Munning (_to Sally_). I told you to put that model in the dresser drawer. Sally. And you told me to cut sandwiches and bread and I've one pair of hands and not a hundred. I left it atop till I'd a minute to spare, and if it's not where I left it some one's moved it. It didn't walk. (_She crosses speaking and exit. Mrs. Munning returns speechlessly to her seat._) Zack. Well, I'll change my coat and chance it. (_He changes to a slightly less old coat which hangs behind the door._) Parlour ways is parlour ways. Virginia. I do hope you're not going to make a stranger of me, Aunt Elizabeth. Zack. And that's no use in here. (_Taking off the apron,_) Paul. You'll have to make allowances for Zack, Jenny. Virginia. Is he a little----? Paul. We don't let it go beyond the family, of course. Virginia. I hope I'm one of you. Paul. He was born lazy. That's what's the matter. Zack (_returning to table, sitting and eating. Zack can talk and eat at once_). I've done a job of work to-day and chance it. Mended that pig-stye at Ballbrook farm. Paul. Did you? I daresay there was all of ten minutes' work in that. Zack. Took me a couple of hour. Mrs. Munning. Then I hoped you charged according. Zack. I charged a shilling. Mrs. Munning. For a couple of hour! It's worth half a crown. Zack. I charged what I thought fair. Mrs. Munning. What you----! Oh well, it's done now. Where's the shilling? Zack (_feeling_). Oh, it's in my other coat. (_He is about to rise._) Paul. All right. All right. That'll do later. Zack. But I can see I've done wrong thing again. It's like this, Miss Virginia, there's some folk born to do right. They can't do the wrong thing if they tried. Like mother and Paul. I'm different. It's just the other way with me. I can't do right. Mrs. Munning. You never spoke a truer word. Zack. Same time, you know, I have my use. Oh yes, I've got a use. Mrs. Munning. I haven't noticed it. Zack. I'll tell you then. Suppose a thing goes wrong.
