A house in which, after a while, there will be no capitalists and no exploiters and no wreckers, only workers each man and woman on the job they were fitted for? It's a man-sized job, but isn't it worth tackling? It's sure worth tackling, Captain. GEORGE. And can't we begin it, in a modest way, by making a little model of the big house right here in Foxon Falls? Dr. Jonathan will help us.
We notice Mr. Pindar comin' in here to see you every day or so, like the rest of Foxon Falls. And we thought you could make him see this thing straight, if any man could. DR. JONATHAN. So the shops will be idle. RENCH. Not a shaft'll turn over till he recognizes the union. HILLMAN. We don't want to do nothin' to obstruct the war, but we've got to have our rights.
GEORGE. Minnie, tell me, what made you come back to Foxon Falls today? Don't, George, don't go and be foolish again! There's the noon whistle! Goodbye, I'll be thinking of you, over there. GEORGE. I'll write to you. Will you write to me, Minnie? Don't lose any sleep about me. Good luck, George!
GEORGE. Where the deuce did you blow in from? Gee whiz! aren't we smart! MINNIE. Do you like me? I'm making good money, since the war. GEORGE. Do I like you? What are you doing here? MINNIE. My brother Bert's out there he ain't working today. Mr. Pindar sent for father, and we walked up here with him. Where is he? In there. But what are you doing, back in Foxon Falls?
I told him that a girl who was capable of drawing my son into an intrigue while she was a member of the church and of my Bible class, a girl who had the career you had in Newcastle, couldn't become a decent and trustworthy woman. The very fact that you had the audacity to come back to Foxon Falls and impose on Dr. Pindar's simplicity, proves it. MINNIE. You know all about me, Mrs. Pindar.
AUGUSTA. You mean to practise medicine? You ought to have consulted us. I'm afraid you won't find it remunerative, Jonathan, but your father was impractical, too. Foxon Falls is still a small place, in spite of the fact that the shops have grown. Workmen's families can't afford to pay big fees, you know. I know. AUGUSTA. And we already have an excellent physician here, Dr. Senn.
RENCH. Well, it's a fact, I hadn't thought much of them intellectuals. GEORGE. They're part of the game their theories are the basis for an intelligent practice. And what should we be able to do without their figures? Look at what we've worked out in large scale production and distribution in this war! That's a new world problem. Shall we be pioneers here in Foxon Falls in the new experiment?
DR. JONATHAN. Yes, I've been ordered to the rear. TIMOTHY. The rear, is it? I'm thinking we'll be fighting this war in Foxon Falls, too. DR. JONATHAN. Yes, much of it will be fought behind the battle lines. AUGUSTA. You think the Germans will come over here? DR. JONATHAN. No, but the issue is over here already. Thank you, Jonathan. Wait a moment, Timothy, I want to ask you about your children.
When I heard how he was when he got back, I said to Fred Hillman here, if anybody can cure him, it's Dr. Jonathan, right here in Foxon Falls! I'm sorry this here difference came up just now, Mr. Pindar, when the Captain come home. We was a little mite harsh but we was strung up, I guess, from the long shifts. If we'd known your son was comin' ASHER. You wouldn't have struck?
GEORGE. Tell me about Dr. Jonathan. A scientist, isn't he? Suddenly decided to come back to live in the old homestead. ASHER. On account of his health. He was delicate as a boy. He must have been about eight or nine years old when Uncle Henry left Foxon Falls for the west, that was before you were born. Uncle Henry died somewhere in Iowa. He and my father never got along.
