Ritter. [Stopping above the table] My God, the newspapers have got hold of it!
Jenny. [Into the telephone] Well, just a minute, please.
Ritter. [Turning suddenly to her] Tell them she did it on a bet!
Jenny. The Times newspaper wants to know if Mrs. Ritter has a full-length photograph of herself for the morning paper.
Ritter. [Emphatically, and going out through the center-door into the right hallway and up the stairs] Tell them NO!
Jenny. [Into the telephone] Hello.
Ritter. But that she’ll have some taken as soon as she gets out of jail. [He goes through the arched doorway at the head of the stairs.]
Jenny. [Into the telephone] Why, I couldn’t say, sir, whether Mrs. Ritter has a photograph of herself or not, sir; but I’ll give her your message as soon as she comes in.
Mrs. Pampinelli. [In the right hallway] Hurry, Theodore.
Jenny. [Still at the telephone] You’re more than welcome I’m sure. [She hangs up and hurries in through the center-door, glancing out the right hallway as she comes and, gathering up Mr. Ritter’s overcoat, derby and scarf, hurries over above the table at the left and out.]
