(TRENT, STANDISH, ERSKINE by console table L. of chesterfield.)
ROSALIE. That is right. You cannot be too careful, eh?
CROSBY. And now, if you don't mind, I'm going to lock the doors and keep the keys in my pocket.
ROSALIE. Anything you do wish, sir. It is all the same to me.
(Goes inside circle and sits down up C. in circle.)
MASON (R.C.). May I see that it's done, Mr. Crosby?
CROSBY (L.C., with a laugh). Can't you trust me?
MASON. It isn't that—I—well, I just want to be sure. To see for myself.
CROSBY. Lock that one yourself, then. (Indicating door R.C. MASON goes to and locks the door. CROSBY goes to door L.C., locks it, takes out the key and puts it in his pocket.) Better try it, Mason. (MASON crosses to door L.C.—shows it is locked.) Now well do this one. (He starts to door down L. Then stops suddenly.) No, I've got a better way than this. My dear, will you ring for Pollock?
MRS. CROSBY (upper end of table R.). What are you going to do now?
