Pink T. Will not be put off! Such insolence! Call a policeman. Goodness! I hear him coming in here! He’s bound to speak to me. There’s no escape. I’m subject to impeachment if this gets out.

Rosa. I shan’t take any chances. (Runs out L., P. T. following.)

Enter Jack Blake, R.

Blake. (Bowing politely.) Can I see the president of the club?

Pink T. (At L., with dignity.) I am the president. You are intruding, sir.

Blake. (Bowing very low.) I beg your pardon but I must see somebody.

Pink T. (Aside.) So polite! Your business, sir?

Blake. I am collector for the Universal Grab-all Gas Co. The bill, you know.

Pink T. I do not know. See Miss Daisy Doughflyer, our financial secretary.

Blake. Duffy! The name given me was Doughflyer!
