Mother, while I think of it, has father
Had any trouble with Jergens?
(A pause)
Ah, I'm glad.
I overheard him talking with some men
The other night, and thought from what he said
It might be father they were talking of.
(A pause. The door, forward left, opens slowly and Rome Masters comes stealthily in with a bar of iron in his hand, and moves toward Harry Egerton, whose back is to him)
Harry Egerton.
I'm very glad. You might ask father though.
(Cheering outside)
I'll have some news for you when you return.
(A pause)
