HOLROYD'S VOICE (he is drunk)
Her's locked me out. Let me smash that bloody door in. Come out—come out—ussza! (He strikes a heavy blow on the door. There is a scuffle)
BLACKMORE'S VOICE
Hold on a bit—what're you doing?
HOLROYD'S VOICE
I'm smashing that blasted door in.
MRS. HOLROYD (appearing and suddenly drawing the bolts, flinging the door open) What do you think you're doing?
HOLROYD (lurching into the room, snarling)
What? What? Tha thought tha'd play thy monkey tricks on me, did ter? (Shouting) But I'm going to show thee. (He lurches at her threateningly; she recoils)
BLACKMORE (seizing him by the arm)
