Halligan fell!
Vicky
[Reeling toward the door.]
Mr. Halligan! Mr. Halligan! I’m afraid I’m going to faint.
[On the threshold a sudden suspicion comes to her, and she pulls herself together with a heroic effort.]
David! Davy, boy. Don’t touch the candy!
[She collapses on the threshold.]
David
[On his knees at her side.]
Vicky! Vicky, dear! Answer me, Vicky!
