WINSOR walks over to the fire, stares into it, turns round and
stares at COLFORD, who is standing motionless.
COLFORD. Yes, by God!
CURTAIN.
SCENE II
[NOTE.--This should be a small set capable of being set quickly
within that of the previous scene.]
Morning of the following day. The DANCYS' flat. In the
sitting-room of this small abode MABEL DANCY and MARGARET ORME
are sitting full face to the audience, on a couch in the centre
of the room, in front of the imaginary window. There is a
fireplace, Left, with fire burning; a door below it, Left; and a
door on the Right, facing the audience, leads to a corridor and
the outer door of the flat, which is visible. Their voices are
heard in rapid exchange; then as the curtain rises, so does
MABEL.
MABEL. But it's monstrous!
MARGARET. Of course! [She lights a cigarette and hands the case to
MABEL, who, however, sees nothing but her own thoughts] De Levis might
just as well have pitched on me, except that I can't jump more than six
inches in these skirts.
MABEL. It's wicked! Yesterday afternoon at the Club, did you say?
Ronny hasn't said a word to me.
