You think the guard would let him come right through?

HARVEY ANDERSON.

Yes, mother.

MRS. EGERTON.

I didn't mean to wake you, Harvey.

HARVEY ANDERSON.

I ain't been sleeping.

MRS. EGERTON.

But it seems so long.

(_Turns again to the window_)

HARVEY ANDERSON.

The snow's so deep upon the mountains, mother.

And Sam and Chris--I know they'd hurry on-- They ain't come either.

NURSE.

(_Entering from the bedroom_)

It's stopped snowing now.

HARVEY ANDERSON.

It's getting colder. How's he seem to be?

NURSE.

There's very little change. What time is it?

HARVEY ANDERSON.

(_Looks at his watch_)

Going on half past three.

(_They look at one another_)

NURSE.

Don't think such things.

(_Anderson goes to the woodbox and looks in_)

MRS. EGERTON.

(_At the window, to herself_)

If I only knew! If I only knew he'd come!

NURSE.

(_As Anderson goes into the woodshed_)

He may have telegraphed for specialists.

(_She glances toward Mrs. Egerton, then goes quietly to the door, rear left, and looks out_)

NURSE.

(_Comes back_)

I wish that there was something that I could do.

MRS. EGERTON.

You made it plain that he must come at once?

NURSE.

Yes, Mrs. Egerton. I told the truth.

Some think it's better to deceive. I don't.

And I find that people thank you in the end.

MRS. EGERTON.

And they've been gone since nine.

NURSE.

Lie down a while, Won't you? I wish you would.

MRS. EGERTON.

Isn't that some one?

NURSE.

(_Goes to the window_)

It's Mr. Bentley with the guard, I think.
