Cray. Police! What d'you mean? It's duns I'm hidin' from.

Car. Duns!

Cray. It's debt—it ain't crime.

Car. Ah! not yet. Well, good-day, Mr. Crayll. I must go back to my cooking. (crosses up)

Cray. Here, hold on. Damn it, don't be in such a hurry. (crosses down C.) I want to talk to you.

Car. I have to baste the fowls.

Cray. Curse the beastly fowls. I must see you alone for half-an-hour, d'you hear?

Car. I hear.

Cray. It's infernal important. Will you meet me to-night?

Car. No.
