(Leaving window and running back to her). I tell you if you don't sit to me I'm a ruined man. Rosaline, I implore you!

MRS. TEMPENNY (off).

I am coming up at once.

REMBRANDT TEMPENNY (rushing to window again).

On no account, my darling, I can't be disturbed.

ROSALINE.

I'm off. Ta-ta.

REMBRANDT TEMPENNY (back to her again).

You shan't go—I'll lock you in first. There! (Locks door, and takes out key.)

MRS. TEMPENNY (off).
