have made the team, fancy!

DICK--[This tickles his sense of humor and he bursts into
laughter.] Lily wins! [As his brother glares at him--looking at
his watch.] Heavens, I'll have to hustle! [Gets to his feet.] I'm
due at the Casino. [Comes and shakes MARTHA's hand formally.] I'm
sorry I can't stay.

MARTHA--So glad you came. Do come in again any time. We keep open
house, you know--Western fashion. [She accentuates this.]

DICK--[Hurriedly.] Delighted to. [He starts for the door in rear.]

LILY--[As if suddenly making up her mind.] Wait a second! I'm
coming with you--

DICK--Sure thing--only hurry, darn you! [He goes out.]

LILY--[Stops at the door in rear and catching MARTHA's eye, looks
meaningly at the others.] Phew! I need fresh air! [She makes an
encouraging motion as if pummeling someone to MARTHA, indicating
her assembled family as the victim--then goes out laughing. A
motor is heard starting--running off.]

ESTHER--[With a huge sigh of relief.] Thank goodness, she's gone.
What a vixen! What would you do if you had a sister like that,
Martha?

MARTHA--I'd love her--and try to understand her.
