INSPECTOR
(Calling from the street.)
Doctor! Help! Oh, Doctor! (She rushes through the door.) Doctor, oh, Doctor, where are you? Oh, Doctor, help!
(The Doctor throws open the door of the laboratory, enters, and presses the electric button. The Inspector is standing beside the bench, the Boy in her arms. She wears no hat or coat. Beside her, on the lawn, is a cat, wearing a gay collar, to which is fastened a tiny bell. A dog comes from the kennel, a horse looks through the square opening, and a monkey appears out of the monkey-house.)
(The Doctor is in his shirt-sleeves. He comes down.)
INSPECTOR
My boy! My boy’s dying! He can’t breathe!
DOCTOR
Here! (Takes the Boy in his arms, lays him upon the bench, and leans down to him.)
