Jarvis. (Picks up sword man in armor dropped; c.) We'll just take a look at this other fellow. (He goes to make a swipe at figure on other side of stairs—sees Rusty.) What's the matter? Are you scared?
Rusty. You can't scare me—I'm scared already.
(Jarvis makes feint at figure. No response; feints again, as though to strike, meaning to draw man out if he is in armor; no response; goes up steps, knocks armor over.)
Jarvis. I guess he's harmless. (Drops sword at foot of steps.)
Rusty. A—ah! (Running up steps and picking up armor.) I'll just fix him so he won't jump no more! (Cross to trap.)
Jarvis. What are you going to do?
Rusty. I'm going to sink this other battleship!
Jarvis. Hold on—wait a minute. I reckon we can use that. It takes a thief to catch a thief, they say. We'll just outspook Mr. Ghost. Now, come on, Rusty. Get into this hardware as fast as you can.
Rusty. Marse Warren, I don't want to be no spook!
Jarvis. Listen! Somebody was working in this room. It's a cinch that the treasure is here, and it's a bigger cinch he'll come back to get it when we've gone.
