THE REGISTER
by William D. Howells
SCENE: In an upper chamber of a boarding-house in Melanchthon Place, Boston, a mature, plain young lady, with every appearance of establishing herself in the room for the first time, moves about, bestowing little touches of decoration here and there, and talking with another young lady, whose voice comes through the open doorway of an inner room.

MISS HENRIETTA SPAULDING: "Oh, sticking up a household god or two. What are you doing?"
MISS REED: "Despairing."
MISS SPAULDING: "Still?"
MISS REED, tragically: "Still! How soon did you expect me to stop? I am here on the sofa, where I flung myself two hours ago, and I don't think I shall ever get up. There is no reason WHY I ever should."
MISS SPAULDING, suggestively: "Dinner."
MISS REED: "Oh, dinner! Dinner, to a broken heart!"
