Where are they, then?
(She does not answer.)
If they are in the room we can find them. Search the room. Tom, Mr. Hubbard, Dobleman. They must be recovered at any cost.
(While a thorough search of the room is being made, Mrs. Starkweather, overcome, has Connie assist her to seat at left. Margaret also seats herself, in same chair at desk.)
Chalmers
(Pausing from search, while others continue.) There is no place to look for them. They are not in the room. Are you sure you didn't mislay them?
Starkweather
Nonsense. Margaret took them. They are a bulky package and not easily hidden. If they aren't in the room, then she has them on her.
Chalmers
Madge, give them up.
