Start the dogs right away with a man you can trust. And he must be sure to let Flossie think that Vanderlip sent him. At the best, Flossie can't arrive until late to-night. And there may be delays. You keep on Vanderlip's trail so that you will know always where he is.
(Freda and Sitka Charley start to walk toward the door at right.)
When I send for him you must bring him to me, and I'll hold him till Flossie gets in.
SITKA CHARLEY
(Touching Freda's arm.)
No very strong, Freda.
FREDA
(Tapping her forehead.)
Vanderlip no very strong, Charley.
(Both cover ears, pull on mittens, and go out.)
