Jarvis. Did I break it?
Princess. No—— (Jarvis takes contents out of trunk.) I broke it myself on purpose—yesterday. It means a great deal to me and perhaps to you. Some day you may know the reason why.
Jarvis. (Gets in trunk) Would you mind putting this lid down? (Princess puts down lid of trunk on Jarvis. Grunts.) O-oo-ou-ugh! (Raises lid and stands up in trunk. Princess raises lid all the way back as soon as Jarvis shouts.) I'll die in there.
Princess. But it's a chance.
Jarvis. You're right! I'll take it. (Gets out of trunk and goes to trays.) What are we going to do with these?
Princess. We had better send those by messenger.
Jarvis. (Turning) Hold on—I've got it. No, you had better 'phone. (Princess crosses to 'phone r.) Ask the operator to give you the Hotel Belmont, across the street. My room is 417. Rusty, my servant, is there now, waiting for word from me. (He crosses to Princess.) He can be trusted. Tell him to come here at once—and say "Warren." That will fetch him.
Princess. 417? Hello—— Connect me with the Hotel Belmont, please.
Jarvis. Remember, ask for room 417.
Princess. Yes, I know. Hello, hello! Is this the Belmont?—Give me room 417.
