MISS EASTWOOD (coming to R.C.). Don't you think all this is dishonest!

ROSALIE (in front of table R., turning to her). What is dishonest in it?

MISS EASTWOOD. Tricking a lot of poor ignorant people.

ROSALIE. It is all in the way you look at it. A widow woman came to me this mornin' with a breaking 'eart for the man that was gone. I went into a trance and Laughing Eyes, my spirit control, came with a message from 'im. She said 'e was in heaven with the angels, and there was no cold nor 'unger; and the streets were paved with gold, and there was music and 'appiness everywhere. She told 'er he was thinking of 'er every day and every hour and watching and waiting for the day she would come to 'im. Now wasn't that worth fifty cents of any woman's money? And the man may be in 'ell for all I know!

TRENT (L.C. by arm-chair). What I can't understand is why you are telling us all this.

(MISS EASTWOOD moves to the chesterfield C.)

MRS. TRENT (seated over L. by door). If we know you are fooling——

ROSALIE (going to TRENT). Did not Mr. Wales tell you?

WALES (L.C.). I've told them nothing.

(MASON drops down R. of chesterfield, STANDISH down L. CROSBY is R. end of chesterfield C.)

ROSALIE (C.). Well, tell them now, if you please, sir. (Moves to and sits upper end of table and takes off her gloves.)

WALES (down L.). As I told you some time ago, Madame la Grange has done a lot of things that we can't explain—-when I asked her to come here to-night, she said she would under certain conditions.

MASON (between chesterfield and table). You mean test conditions?
