Yardsley. That's the point. If you own the house we want to becareful and consider your feelings. If you _don't_, we don't carewhat happens.

Perkins. I don't own the house. (Aside.) And under thecircumstances I'm rather glad I don't.

Yardsley. Well, I'm glad you don't. My weak point is my conscience,and when it comes to destroying a friend's property, I don't exactlylike to do it. But if this house belongs to a sordid person, whombuilt it just to put money inside his own pocket, I don't care. Barlow,you can nail those portieres up. It won't be necessary to build aframe for them. Bradley, carry the chairs and cabinets out.

[Bradley, assisted by Perkins, removes the remaining furniture,placing the bric-a-brac on the floor.

Barlow. All right. Where's that stepladder? Thaddeus, got anynails?

Mrs. Perkins. I--I think we'd rather have a frame, Mr. Yardsley._We_ can have one made, can't we, Thaddeus?
