Doctor. You are. (Bus.—with stethoscope) I mean—with pleasure! I'll write you a prescription, (writes) I should advise a long voyage with a merry companion.
(Andrew shakes his fist at Doctor unobserved by him.)
Better start at once, (hands her prescription, saying aside) Go! (rings bell on table)
(Enter Tupper.)
Show this lady to her carriage, Tupper.
(Ruby doesn't move from table.)
(aside) Go! Go! What are you waiting for?
Ruby. (aside to him, stifling a laugh) My sister, of course. I'm not going to leave her here, (crosses C., then on to Andrew)
Doctor. Pray don't.
(Doctor rushes at Pearl. who is hobbling across stage on Waverly's walking stick and takes stick from her.)
