Harms wouldn’t let you in their elevator!
Paul
As he goes proudly into the next room.
I was in it this afternoon!
Eileen
A long, long sigh.
Is Hart going to phone or isn’t he? It gets me crazy, this waiting.
Lucille
I wouldn’t mind waiting if there was something to wait for. I nearly go out of my mind, just sitting. You hear women brag about the nice, cozy evenings they spend at home with their husband. They’re not married to a piano tuner with ten thumbs.
Eileen
Hoping against hope.
Maybe he didn’t get back from Philadelphia. He might still be over there.
Lucille
What time was he going to call up?
Eileen
Six o’clock. He said he’d call me the minute he got in. Maybe the train was late.
