afternoon.
Kipling - Poems
Miss T.
is carrying a bundle of books under her left arm.
Miss D. (Level intonation. ) Well?
Miss T. (Ascending intonation. ) Well?
Miss D. (Capturing her friend's left arm, taking away all the books,
placing books in 'rickshaw, returning to arm, securing hand by third
finger and investigating. ) Well! You bad girl! And you never told me.
Miss T. (Demurely.
) He--he--he only spoke yesterday afternoon.
Miss D. Bless you, dear! And I'm to be bridesmaid, aren't I? You know
you promised ever so long ago.
Miss T. Of course. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow. (Gets into
'rickshaw. ) O Emma!
Miss D. (With intense interest. ) Yes, dear?
Miss T. (Piano. ) It's quite true--about-the-egg.
