Scene. - Sitting-room in the Winslows' residence. Doors R. and L. French window, C. Desk and sofa, R. Chimney-piece with mirror over it and large armchair, L. Large table, C. Small table R. of window. Time, evening of July 3d. Maude is seated in armchair reading letter. Laurie is stretched lazily on sofa reading book. At rise of curtain there is a slight pause.

Maude (over letter). That's good! I was afraid they wouldn't come. Laurie. (Laurie does not appear to hear.) Laurie, I say, the boys are coming. (Laurie smiles over book.) Do you hear They got mama's letter and are coming to spend the Fourth. (Very much louder.) Laurie Winslow!

Laurie (starting up and slamming book). Yelling again! What do you want now You girls are enough to drive a fellow crazy. Everlastingly shrieking about something or other.

Maude (ignoring his mood). Howard and Bert are coming and they'll be here this evening.

Laurie. What of it That is no reason why you should take my head off. (Gets up.) I thought I could be quiet in here, but you're worse than Grace, and goodness knows she is bad enough. I left Milly on Hartwell's Island; I think she'll be glad to see me. (Laurie exit R., but comes back again.) There is a man out in the hall asking for you. [Exit, L.]

Bronson (entering R.). Pardon this intrusion. I am addressing Miss Winslow

Maude (bowing). You are.

Bronson. You must excuse abruptness, but my time is limited. I called to see you on business.

Maude. I understand. You are undertaking some charitable work and come to ask for help. Won't you be seated
