JACK. My father's dead. She's both to me. That's why I'm anxious.
ELSIE. Anxious! But your mother wouldn't stop us, Jack.
JACK (doubtfully). You will be careful with her, Elsie.
ELSIE. Careful?
JACK. Yes. Not like you go on with your father. She's used to my way.
(She has his unhurt arm, urging him to door, when it opens and Austin, Florence and Leo enter.)
AUSTIN. Still here, Metherell!
ELSIE. I'm just going to take him home.
AUSTIN (to Jack). Wasn't the doctor going to help you into your clothes? (To Leo and Florence.) Where is Wells? Have either of you seen him?
LEO. Last seen disappearing in the direction of the bar with an eminent London solicitor.
