Chalmers
(As the three men move toward exit.) Home?
Starkweather
Yes, we have much to do.
Chalmers
Then I'll dress first and follow you.
(Turning to Margaret.) Pick me up on the way to that dinner.
(Margaret nods. Starkweather makes exit without speaking. Hub-bard says good-bye to Margaret and makes exit, followed by Chalmers.)
(Margaret remains standing, one hand resting on table, the other hand to her breast. She is thinking, establishing in her mind the connection between Knox and what she has overheard, and in process of reaching the conclusion that Knox is in danger.)
(Tommy, having vainly waited to be discovered, crawls out dispiritedly, and takes Margaret by the hand. She scarcely notices him.)
