THE ALDRICH FAMILY Mrs. Aldrich. — George Washington! Henry. — George Washington! George Washington! Mother, do you think I want to go to a Halloween party as George Washington? Mrs. Aldrich. — I certainly don’t see why you couldn’t. Mary. — I know where the costume is, mother. ( Fading ) I’ll run up and get it. Henry. — You needn’t get it for me, Mary. Mrs. Aldrich. — But wait, dear. You haven’t seen it. Dizzy. — Between ourselves, Mrs. Aldrich, I think Henry would look better as a horse. Mr. Aldrich. — That costume was good enough for me to wear once. Mrs. Aldrich. — And you took first prize in it. Dizzy. — Was it a Halloween party, Mr. Aldrich ? Mr. Aldrich. — No, I wouldn’t say it was a Halloween party. Henry. — In all my life I have never seen George Washington at a Halloween party. Mrs. Aldrich. — That’s the point. No one has ever thought of it before. Henry. — Dizzy, would you like to swap with me, and you go as George Washington and take first prize ? Mary. — ( Approaching ) Here it is, Henry. Look, Henry, it’s darling ! Henry. — Blue satin trousers! Mr. Aldrich. — Of course. Henry. — And they’re short trousers! What do I wear below them? Mrs. Aldrich. — You wear your black shoes and a pair of my stockings. Henry. — Your stockings, mother! Mrs. Aldrich. — Who will know the difference ? 211
