DONOHUE (turning to them). That open door does not mean freedom for any of you yet.
TRENT (coming to DONOHUE C.). I'm awfully sorry, Inspector, but I've an important business engagement at ten o'clock. My father-in-law here will——
DONOHUE. That's quite impossible.
(TRENT goes up L. again and stands L. side of MRS. TRENT.)
STANDISH (moving to L.C.). That is all very well, Inspector, but you know you can't keep us in this room for ever. If you want to take the consequences of accusing me of murder, well, that's your affair. But my patience is exhausted and I haven't the slightest intention of remaining here much longer. Unless, of course, you are planning to arrest me.
DONOHUE (C.). I see. By the way, who are you?
STANDISH. Howard Standish, of Standish, Giles & Updegraff, 120 Broadway. My brother is Judge Standish of the Supreme Court.
DONOHUE. And you refuse to remain here any longer?
STANDISH. I do.
DONOHUE. Very well, Mr. Standish of Standish, Giles & Updegraff. You are arrested as a material witness in this case. As soon as Sergeant Dunn returns he will call a patrol wagon and take you down to the House of Detention. (Turns and crosses R.) Are there any others who insist on leaving this room?
