Jack, in case she comes I’d better be off. Can you lend me any cash?
Jack. How much do you want? (Producing loose cash.)
Walter. Two or three pounds. (Looks in Jack’s hand.) I’ll take four. (Does so.) Stop, I’ll give you a duplicate key of the cupboard. (Gives key.) The figure has got my black coat on, and I want it for Brighton. When you come back, it will be wearing this one. (Pointing to coat he is wearing.)
Walter. Explain that to Stella.
Jack. Right oh! (Jack goes into drawing-room R.)
(Walter picks up and puts on his brown bowler, goes quickly up, unlocks cupboard, puts key back in pocket, then goes in after saying:)
Walter. Now, Mr. Davidson, my coat, if you please.
(He opens door wide, showing figure seated as before, then goes in and the door closes.)
(He is then heard calling loudly in cupboard:)
