)
MAGGIE (_to_ VICKEY _and_ ALICE). You'd better put your
hats on now, or you'll be late at the church. (_Gets
between_ ALICE _and_ VICKEY, C.)
VICKEY. But aren't we to know first--?
MAGGIE (_herding them to_ R. _exit_). You'll know all right.
Be quick with your things now.
(ALICE _and_ VICKEY _go out_ R.)
MAGGIE (_turns_). Good morning, Albert. (_Goes to him_,
L.) Have you got what Freddy asked you for?
ALBERT. Yes, but I'm afraid--
(WILL _re-enters from street, crosses_ R. _and goes
off_.)
MAGGIE. Never mind being afraid. Freddy, I told you I'd a job
here for you. You go upstairs with Will. There's a sofa to come
down. Get your coat off to it. Now, then, Albert.
FREDDY. But--(_Moving over to_ R.)
MAGGIE. I've told you what to do, and you can't do it in your
coat. (_Moves down_ L.) If that sofa isn't here in two
minutes, I'll leave the lot of you to tackle this yourselves and
a nice hash you'll make of it.
(FREDDY _takes his coat off and puts it on a chair in front of
the counter_.)
FREDDY. All right, Maggie.
(FREDDY _goes out_ R., ALBERT _produces blue paper. She
reads_.)
MAGGIE (_sitting in arm-chair_, R. C.). Do you call this
English?
ALBERT (_standing_ L. _of her_). Legal English, Miss
Hobson.
