Rodney. Here’s your check. Good-day.
McChesney. But, Mr. Martin——
Rodney. Show Mr. McChesney out.
Peale. (Goes to McChesney, takes his arm and leads him to door upper R.) Come on, Mac—this way to the elevator. (Delighted) Watch your step.
(Mr. McChesney exits.)
Rodney. (Gleefully) Well, I fixed him, didn’t I?
Mary. (Rises and goes to Rodney) No, you’ve only got us into more difficulty. You know, there’s no money in the bank.
Rodney. But the check won’t go through the clearing-house until to-morrow morning and by then we’ll have the $15,000 from the Countess.
Peale. But where is the Countess?
Mary. I’ll go telephone now to see if the Imperator’s docked yet.
