He’s going for to cut his head off!!!
(All hold last note.)
(Prof. heard outside.—all wait expectant holding note—enter Prof. hurriedly—jumps over wall—runs to centre—Tableau.)

(Fast.) Never was a time when so fast I’ve had to travel,
Jumping over ditches and tremendous heaps of gravel,
Back yards, pits, and innumerable brick kilns,
Coal bins, ash heaps, otherwise impregnable;
