They are going over the house! Hide!
Agatha Posket and Charlotte.
Oh!
[There is a general commotion.
Blond.
They have put a man at the back. Keep away from the window. [They are all bustling, and everybody is talking in whispers; Lukyn places Agatha Posket under the table, where she is concealed by the cover; he gets behind the overcoats hanging from the pegs; Vale and Charlotte crouch down behind sofa.] Thank you very much. I am going to put Isidore to bed on the sofa. That will explain the light which has just gone out. [Isidore quietly places himself upon the sofa; Blond covering him with the rug.] Thank you very much.
[He goes out.
Agatha Posket.
[In a stifled voice.] Charley! Charley!
