Excerpt from Those Husbands of Ours

(Enter Mrs. Jones tvith suitcase and umbrella. She stands sideiuays just inside doorway, looking out through door, supposedly at kitchen.)

Mrs. Jones. Well, I never! Did you ever see such a looking kitchen in all your born days? I declare, I wouldn't have believed it possible that one lone man could have so thoroughly upset things in one short week. Catch me ever leaving him to keep house alone again! He thought I was getting tired and needed a rest so he talked with Smith and Brown and Shaw and White and Green and Black and they all decided their wives needed a little vacation so they induced us to go off together for a week - said they'd get along fine and dandy. (disgustedly) Fine and dandy, indeed! (drops suitcase and umbrella, looks around living room, throws out hands) Well, if this is what they call fine and dandy, what on earth would it be if it wasn't fine and dandy? (looks towards kitchen again) Think I'll need a year's vacation after I get that kitchen in shape. Isn't that sink a sight! Chock full of dirty dishes! I didn't know I had so many dishes in the house. And more in this room! (picks up chafing dish from table) I declare if he hasn't fried beefsteak in my chafing dish and completely ruined it. Oh dear me! And here's my best cut glass dish full of garbage.
