Why, I never thought that such a thing as politics could interfere with love-making. fThe bells ringsj Now, Katrine, I didn't think you were so foolish as to quarrel over that. Katrine: It ain't me that is quarrelin'. It's him. fBell rings againj Rosanne: Well, you must be quarreling with him. And anyhow, I don't see what's the matter with the Democrats. I'm one myself. Katrine: That's right. Stand with him. fShe bursts out of door R, followed by Michael, who tries to talk to her. The bell rings violently. Henry Ward enters.j Henry: live been ringing for half an hour, and I saw lights on, so I entered. What s the matter? Rosanne: You poor dear! Sit down on the sofa. I've just been trying to patch up a quarrel between the cook and a policeman. They are fighting about politics. Isnit that the limit? Henry: Queer, all right. Well, darling, we could hardly iight over politics, as we are both stout Republicans. Rosanne: Republican! I should say not. I'm a Democrat. QShe laughs.j Oh! I see-you're joking. Imagine us-horrid Republicans. Henry: Why, no, I really mean it. I am a Republican. And I don't see that Republicans are horrid either, as you say. Rosanne: Well, they,re out of date. And don't be so dignified. You wouldn't let anything come between us now, would you? Especially such a trifling thing as politics. Henry: If all people considered politics trifling, we would soon have a nice country, wouldn't we? Brut I suppose that is the way Democrats look on politics. Rosanne: They don't do anything of the kind. I think the Republicans go too far when they buy votes. Henry: So that's what you think I am. Well, I'm glad to find out what you think of me. Then there wcn't be any false impressions. Rosanne: What: You donat mean that. Henry: I certainly mean that. Rosanne: Iill never speak to you again until you take that back. fMr. and Mrs. Grinnell enter by door LJ Mr. Grinnel: What's going on here? Are you quarreling? Rosanne fsobbinglyj : He said that he was glad there were no false impressions fshe begins sobbingl. Mr. Grinnell: False impressions? About what? Rosanne: About politics. He's a Republican and I'm a Democrat. He says that we are trifling about politics. Mr. Grinnell: What? Do you mean to say we are trifling about politics? I am a Democrat myself. Henry: Yes, I do believe Democrats trifle about politics. I was merely defend- ing a charge against the Republican party. Mrs. Grinnell: Never mind, Henry. You'll marry into a family with one sensible member. Rosanne: I don't want him to marry into the family at all. Page 14

Mrs. Grinnell: Since the passing of the nineteenth amendment. Mr. Grinnell: And you knew I was a Democrat. Mrs. Grinnell: Certainly. What has that to do with it? Mr. Grinnell: I won't have it. You must change. I won't stand for it. Mrs. Grinnell: I will never change. You know that. Mr. Grinnell: I will never live in a house with a Republican. Mrs. Grinnell: Well, a divorce is easy to get these days. Rosanne: Mother, what are you saying. Just because you don't agree on poli- tics- - Mrs. Grinnell: Weren't you and Harry just quarreling about the same thing? Henry: We were simply arguing. I claimed and still claim that the Democrats are preparing to radically change the government either by force or illegal legis- lation. Rosanne: Well, prove it. It is easy to say things. Mr. Grinnell: I can prove that the Republicans are already doing this very thing. Mrs. Grinnell: They are not. fMicluzel and Katrine enter from door R, still quarrelingj Katrine: Mike, he says that Democrats ban try to make country dry, an Repub- licans against it. Mrs. Grinnell: Thatls wrong. The Republicans are trying to make the coun- try dry. Mr. Grinnell: 'I'hat's what the Democrats are doing. It's even in their platform. Henry: Well, the Republicans have that in their platform too. Rosanne: But the Democrats are trying to do that. They don't just put it in their platform. Katrine: Well, I thank my broder is agent, an' he is Republican. Mike: Well, lim an agent of the p'lice force of this city, an' I hope I do my bit fer prohibition. An, I am a Democrat. Henry: Well, it seems to me that we're all working for the same thing, so we might as well make peace. Rosanne: Yes, we might as well. Michael: I guess I got to go out an' look for moonshiners. Katrine: Come out'n the kitchen, .an' have a cup of coffee, Michael. Michael: Sure I will, me darlin' flfxeunt at door 35. Mr. Grinnell: What do you say-we have a walk, my dear? Mrs. Grinnell: Certainly. It isnit very late. Good evening. Henry and Rosanne: Good night! fMr. and Mrs. Grinnell leave at door LJ Rosanne: Let's sit on the sofa.
