Leggatt. He is very soothing.

Bulger. (Emphatically.) I wont have it (gets in bed).

Leggatt. I’m very sorry. I’ll have to read all to myself.

Bulger. (Sitting up.) Are you going to read?

Leggatt. I am.

Bulger. And keep that candle burning?

Leggatt. Certainly! I don’t read in the dark. I haven’t cat’s eyes.

Bulger. Really, I say—do you know that I have a call for the three o’clock train?

Leggatt. Don’t worry about it, Bulger. I shall be awake and I’ll call you promptly. Will 2:45 be about right?

Bulger. (Jumps up.) That man is crazy. I’ll never get a wink of sleep here. (Seizes blanket.) There’s a sofa in the hall, I’ll try that. Next time I come to this town I’ll stop at the roundhouse for a quiet place. (Runs out R. with candle and blanket.)
