Rodney. Was that all you came in to say?

Ellery. (Remembering) Oh, yes, of course. If you’ll keep it open until Monday I’ll get the money for you then.

Rodney. But we can’t wait till Monday.

Ellery. But Mr. Peale told me——

Peale. (Interrupting quickly) We’ll see what we can do, but just now, Ellery, we’re very much occupied. (He has him by the arm)

Rodney. Oh, just a minute: you’d better give your father back the plans—say they’re quite satisfactory. (Gives plans to Peale)

Ellery. What plans?

Peale. Don’t you know?

Ellery. No.

Peale. That’s too bad. Well, good-bye, Ellery.
