 * They’re lovely, aren't they?

(calling out through the French windows to Mrs. Harold)
 * Did the paper come yet, Mrs. Harold?


 * Yes, I just brought it in,—it’s there on the table.
 * [Mazie turns and comes back to the table, picks up the paper, and strolls forward, holding it up as though to allow the light from a window at the right to fall upon it.


 * More rain again to-morrow.

(answering her from the front porch)
 * Does it say so?


 * Unsettled to-night and Friday—probably thunder showers. Slightly cooler, with moderate winds,

(coming in)
 * I don’t know where all the rain is comin’ from.


 * It isn’t very nice weather for Mrs. Craig, is it?
