Messiter.
You’ll report yourself to-night!
Harris.
I held on till I nearly went off, sir.
Messiter.
[Giving him the bull’s-eye.] Don’t argue, but light up. There are half a dozen people concealed in this room. [There is a cry from the women. Charlotte and Vale rise; Lukyn steps from behind the coats.] I thought so. [As Messiter turns, Agatha Posket and Mr. Posket rise, Cis comes quickly, catches hold of Mr. Posket, and drags him across to the window.]
Cis.
[To Mr. Posket.] Come on, Guv. Come on!
[They disappear through the curtain as Harris turns up the lights. Then then is a cry and the sound of a crash.
