d so--

AUSTIN. Don't worry! Your daughter's safe with me. I'm not the jealous
sort myself and I love Jinny so completely, so calmly, and yet with my
heart, and soul, and mind, and body, she'll never have a _chance_ even
to _try_ to be jealous of _me_!

TILLMAN. Sh!

[_JINNY enters Right._

JINNY. I found poor Maggie up in my room crying! She says she can't bear
to have me go away. I think she's sorry now she wouldn't come with me as
maid--and I said good-by to cook and she sniffed!

[_AUSTIN looks at his watch._

AUSTIN. Oh! we ought to go!

MRS. TILLMAN. Good-by, darling!

[_Kissing JINNY and embracing her a long time, while AUSTIN and
TILLMAN shake hands warmly and say good-by._

JINNY. [_Going to her father._] Good-by, father. Dear old father!

[_With happy emotion._

[_AUSTIN meanwhile is shaking hands with MRS. TILLMAN._

JINNY. [_Returns to her mother._] Darling--oh, how good you've always
been to me! Oh, mummy darling, I _shall_ miss you! You'll send me a
letter to-morrow, won't you, or a telegram? Send a telegram--you've got
the address!

MRS. TILLMAN. [_With tears in her eyes._] Yes, it's written down!

JINNY. You can tell father, but no one else!

[_Hugs and kisses her mother._

TILLMAN. Come, Susan! They'll lose their train!

[_JINNY again embraces her father._

ALL. Good-by! Good-by!

[_JINNY, starting to go with AUSTIN, suddenly leaves him and runs back
again to her mother and throws herself in her arms. They embrace, in
tears._

JINNY. Good-by, mother!

MRS. TILLMAN. Good-by, my darling!

TILLMAN. Come, come! they'll lose their train!

[_JINNY runs to AUSTIN, and with his arms about her, they hurry to
the door Left. They go through the doors at back to window in the
corridor. JINNY stops at the door and she and AUSTIN face each other
a moment._

JINNY. [_Looking up at him._] Oh, Jack!

[_She throws her arms about his neck and buries her face on his
shoulder._

AUSTIN. Jinny, Jinny dear, you're not sorry?

JINNY. [_Slowly raises her head and looks at him, smiling through her
tears, and speaks in a voice full of tears and little sobs._] Sorry? Oh,
no! Oh, no! It hurts me to leave them, but I never was so _happy_ in my
life!

[_He kisses her and they hurry out, with his arm about her._

MRS. TILLMAN. [_In the corridor, lifts the window._] I hear the door--

TILLMAN. There they are!
