Spindler and Mrs. Pampinelli, together.

Spindler. Twiller!

Mrs. Pampinelli. Oh, dear, dear!

Twiller. [Rushing towards them from the left] What’s the matter?

Spindler and Teddy, together.

Spindler. Got a lead-pencil?

Teddy. Give him a lead-pencil, Ralph!

Twiller. [Dropping his cane] No! [They fling him out of the way, to the left, and rush on back to the stage manager.] What are you trying to do, knock me off my feet!

Mrs. Pampinelli. Haven’t you got one, Mr. Twiller?

Spindler and Mrs. Fell, together.

Spindler. [To the stage manager] Got a lead-pencil, old man?

Mrs. Fell. [At Mrs. Pampinelli’s heels] There’s one in my bag somewhere!
