DONOHUE. We'll find the knife eventually. We've got to. Get me Mr. Crosby, the O'Neill girl—that's the order I want to see them in here.
(DUNN exits L. DONOHUE crosses up R. end of chesterfield to chest up R., starts to cross L. below chesterfield. CROSBY enters down L. and closes the door. DONOHUE comes down to C. by R. end of chesterfield.)
CROSBY (L.C.). Your man told me to come here.
DONOHUE. Yes. Sorry to have to give orders in your house. If you don't like it I can take everyone down to Police Headquarters. You know what will happen—what the newspapers will do if I take all these ladies and gentlemen down town. In the end this way will be the best for you and your friends. Well, how about it?
CROSBY (L.C.). Thank you. I think you'd better regard this house as your own for the present.
DONOHUE (C.). All right. If you don't mind I'll use this room as a headquarters for the present.
CROSBY. I have already told you to use this house as your own.
DONOHUE. Thank you. Good evening.
CROSBY (with a laugh). I'm dismissed?
DONOHUE. You're dismissed. (CROSBY walks toward door L.) Why did Wales object to the engagement of your son and Helen O'Neill?
