Mary. How?
Rodney. Where’s the ’phone book? (She grabs red classified directory from desk) We’ll call up two or three of his branch offices. (He has hurriedly begun turning over pages, as Peale on one side and Mary on the other, help him) Skins, skates, shirts—where’s soap?
Mary. (Over his shoulder) Skylights, skates, slides——
Peale. (The same) Smelters, smoke-stacks, snuff.
Rodney. Ah, here it is! Soap manufacturers—(Skimming down page) 276 Broad—here’s one of father’s factories.
Peale. I’ve got one, too—374 Schuyler.
Mary. So have I: 480 Audubon. (They drop book and each dashes to a ’phone. As they give the number of ’phone, curtain. During two curtains, till they finish lines)
Rodney. 276 Broad.
Mary. 480 Audubon.
Peale. 374 Schuyler—and hurry, sweetie——
