SUSAN GETS READY FOR CHURCH
—————
Character—_An ordinary girl in an ordinary house on a Sunday
morning._
—————
Susan—_Rushes in, sits down at a table and looks disgustedly
at her breakfast._
Mother, what in the world did you let me oversleep for anyway? This
toast is all dried up, (_Takes top off egg_) and just look at that
egg; it’s as hard as a rock and if there’s anything I detest, it’s a
hard-boiled—(_In surprise_) You did call me? Oh, of course, but that
was ages ago and you know I always take another nap after the first—Am
I going to church? (_With sarcasm_) Well, what do you think I am! A
lightning change artist, to be able to get ready in about five seconds!
(_takes a bite of toast_). I know it’s just a quarter after ten but
I simply couldn’t get dressed in less than an hour and church begins
at eleven. Besides I haven’t had my breakfast yet. (_Takes a drink
and makes a wry face_). Goodness, but this coffee is awfully strong.
It tastes as though it had been boiling for hours. It’s enough to
poison—(_pause_).
Oh, a returned missionary is going to speak? Then I’m glad I’m not
going, for if there’s anything I hate to have to listen to, it’s a
missionary sermon. They have generally forgotten how to speak the
English language and keep saying A-a-h-uh until they get the word
they’re after. I counted two hundred and fifty-three A-a-h-uh’s in
that address that man from China—(_indignantly_) I don’t see why I
should be ashamed of myself. I had to do something to keep awake. And
they’re always begging for money, too.
The heathen don’t need it nearly as badly as I do. Why, I had to pay
ten dollars for my new hat alone, while they can clothe themselves on
that many cents.
Their costumes are so simple, you know, just a frill around—(_in
surprise_).
Madge got her new hat home last night! And she told me the milliner
couldn’t possibly have it ready for to-day. To think she’d lie to her
best friend like that! (_jumps up hurriedly_).
That settles it; I’ll simply have to go to church now, missionary or no
missionary, (_pause_).
You don’t see what Madge’s hat has to do with my going to church?
Why, mother, the very idea, when you know I’ve had mine for two whole
days. I wouldn’t let her get ahead of me for the—(_pause_).
No, I haven’t time for another bite. It’s all cold anyway.
Here Jimmie, (_stoops and takes off shoes_) give these shoes a shine
and I’ll give you a nickel.
(_Indignantly_) Your conscience won’t let you do it for less than ten
cents because it’s Sunday! Whoever heard of the like! First time I knew
you had a conscience.
Well, I guess I’ll have to give it to you then, but it will have to
come out of my collection, so remember, it’s the church you’re robbing,
not— (_Puts hand up to hair_.)
Oh, I forgot, my hair isn’t done yet, I must run up and do it; I’ll
never get ready in time.
(_Takes down hair, brushes and puts it up, talking continuously._) Say,
I’d like to know who’s been swiping my hair-pins! I just bought a box
last week and now there’s only four—(_calls_) Bess—ie! Have you taken
my hair-pins? (_Pause._) Well, you needn’t snap my head off. I saw you
slitting the pages of your book with one, I know. Come and hunt me up
some of mother’s, then. Hurry, or I’ll be late. (_Pause._)
You can find only one? Thanks, now run down and take a couple out of
mother’s hair, she won’t mind. Be quick.
Jim—ie! Have you got those shoes shined yet? (_Pause._) Well, hurry up.
(_Pause._) She says her hair will come down? Well, tell her to bundle
it under a boudoir cap.
(_Pause._) Oh, Bessie, you’re a dear. Now get my dress for me; it’s
hanging on the nail behind the closet door. (_Pause._) No, not that
one, that color wouldn’t go with my new hat at—
(_Pause._) You can’t find it? Oh, dear, I guess I’ll have to hunt for
it myself. (_Takes a few steps and searches frantically._)
There, (_slipping it over her head_) it was just exactly where I told
you it was—hanging behind the door, under my suit skirt, that dress and
my georgette crepe waist.
It was there all the time, but some people are so afraid of looking for
anything for fear they might find it. Now fasten it up for me.
(_Calls._) Jim—mie, hurr—(_Jumps._) Ouch! You’re sticking a pin in me.
Do be more careful. (_Calls as she fixes her dress._)
Mother, get my collection ready for me, please. I can just give a
nickel since Jim—(_Pause._) Oh, my purse is in one of my boxes in the
side. (_Pause._) There are five boxes? I don’t know which one it’s in;
look in them all. (_Pause._) Not in any of them? Oh, I know now. I left
it in my coat pocket. It’s hanging on the hall-rack.
There goes the first bell, I’ll never get—Nothing in it less than a
dollar bill? Well, I’ll not give that, that’s one thing certain. Lend
me a nickel to tide me over—
(_Calls_) Jim—mie, aren’t those shoes shined yet?
(_Pause._) Mother you shouldn’t let him use such words, they’re not—
Oh, Bessie, run and get me a handkerchief out of my box. (_Pause._)
None there? Then get me one of yours. (_Pause._) Yes, mother, I’m
coming down.
Oh, dear, where’s my hymn-book? I left it on top of those books last
Sunday. I guess it’s fallen behind. (_Pulls out books._) No, it isn’t
here. Where—
Oh, Bessie, will you hunt up my gloves? (_Pause._) No, I haven’t the
least idea where they are. Look in that drawer. (_Pause._) Not there?
Then look in the writing—Oh, I remember, I left them over to Edith’s. I
simply can’t go to church without them, so run and get them. Hurry, I’m
late now.
(_Calls_) Jimmie, aren’t those shoes done yet? Mother, do make him
hurry. I’ll nev—
I suppose I might be putting on my hat while I’m waiting. (_Puts it on
carefully._) Mother, which way do you like it best? This way, (_Jerks
it to the left._) or this? (_Jerks it to the right._) You like it best
on straight? But mother, it must have a dip or it won’t be in style.
There, (_Jerks to the left and examines critically._) I like it that
way best. The way that curl pokes out is too cute for—Where’s my fancy
hat-pins gone? You can’t keep anything around this place. I’ll have to
take Bessie’s.
(_Calls.)_ Oh, Jim—mie, do get a move on! (_Severely._) Don’t get into
such a temper. How did I know you were coming.
Goodness, but that’s some shine you’ve got. (_Puts them on._)
You’d think—oh, oh, look at my hands; they’re all over shoe polish.
I’ll have to wash them again.
I’ll never, never get to church.
(_Indignantly_) Jimmy Smith, the idea of saying it’s my own fault.
I couldn’t waken if nobody called me, could I? You ought to be so
thankful that you have a sister who’s anxious to go to church that
you’d do anything to help her get ready.
Has any one found my hymn-book yet? Never mind, I’ll get one at the
door as I go—
Jimmie, run and see if—
Oh, here you are, Bessie. I thought you were never coming. (_Takes
gloves and starts to put one on._)
These aren’t my gloves; they’re Edith’s, and she takes a half size
smaller than I do. No, you haven’t time to go back and get mine so I’ll
have to wear them, but they’ll be a pretty tight fit. (_Pause._)
Well, just look at that! Split right down the middle. They must be
awfully poor kid. I didn’t think she’d buy such cheap things. I’ll have
to hide the tear with my handker—
Oh, there goes the last bell. I’ll be most awfully late, likely they’ll
be finishing the first hymn.
I think you people might have helped me more. One good thing, Madge
can’t miss seeing me. Oh, I’m going off without my handkerchief. Run
and get it for me, Jimmie.
Mother, are you sure my hat’s on straight? Wouldn’t it be awful if
Madge weren’t out after all!

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
