Dor. Get out of the room! (rises and sits at exit)

(Gandy goes out, the two men open their papers firmly and begin to read; Lucy enters at window followed nervously by Thorsby—Lucy dragging him into C.; Lucy is L. C., Thorsby R. C.)

Lucy. Good-morning, everybody!

Miss P. Good morning!

Pil. (not looking up) Good morning!

Dor. (doing the same) Good morning!

Lucy. I've brought Mr. Thorsby with me.

Miss P. Good day, Mr. Thorsby! (he bows)

Dor. (not looking round) Ah, Thorsby! (Thorsby bows)

Dor. (not looking round) How are you, Thorsby? (Thorsby bows once more)
