GUY. Your duty, Captain Lascelles, is to hand your prisoners to the authorities to be dealt with as the law provides. Meanwhile, send me the men I want.
CAPTAIN. Very well.

RUTH. Guy!
GUY (not looking up). Don't go, Ruth. I want you here.
RUTH. I was not going, but——
GUY. Then oblige me by silence. These plans of mine must reach an architect to-morrow. (Takes knife from pocket and erases something on plan.) And the new machinery must be ordered to-night.
