[Off stage]: The fake! The damned pimp! Drive him out! Come on.... Rush him!
[Suddenly there is the noise of the oncoming. Pearl throws herself before Dan. Mary Margaret is just behind him. The others retreat to the platform. Headed by Joe Hennig ... drunk ... the rowdies enter—Jimmie Curran, a big dockman, his wife and half a dozen hangers-on of the neighborhood.]
Joe
[En route] Come on, fellows! We'll show this guy! We'll show—[He confronts them] By God! Caught in the act! [To his gang] That's my wife!
Daniel
Caught in what act, Joe?
