EILEEN. Yes--but this----

MURRAY. Come now! 'Fess up! What is "this"?

out soon.

MURRAY (_insistently_). Then when? Where?

Sometime before you leave, maybe.

MURRAY. But I may go to-morrow morning--if I gain weight and Stanton

lets me.

EILEEN (_sadly_). Yes, I was forgetting--you were going right away.

(_Dully_). Then nowhere, I suppose--never. (_Glancing towards the

dining-room._) They're all getting up. Let's not talk about it any

MURRAY (_stubbornly_). But you'll tell me later, Eileen? You must.
