AGNUS (helpless)

The Devil give me strength—

[The hitherto crouching figure shoots up outside and a face becomes visible at the window. Neither one of the men inside sees it.

ONFROY

You fool! You fool! (Throws Agnus from him and goes out slamming the door behind him)

[The face at the window turns to see Onfroy go hurriedly by. Agnus, rushing after him, throws open the door, thus disclosing a man in the garden who is waiting to enter.

MAN

Did I hear my name mentioned? (Enters. He is as unlike the popular conceptions of The Devil as possible, being short, squat, respectable, fat and Teutonic. He is followed by a queer light that darts and circles the ceiling) You called me, I think! (He closes the door)

AGNUS (backing)

What! What!
