[Ivory has crossed to Ruler and is between Miss Ivory and Ruler.]
Ruler. Good morning, Mr. Ivory.
Ivory. Daughter, dear—do you know anything about the papers in the safe?
Sud. Keep up the suspense—Inkwell.
Inkwell. I have no lines here.
Sud. A villain should sustain the suggestion of villainy whether he has lines or not. Look uneasy—tremble—
[Inkwell looks uneasy and trembles.]
Ivory. But if I see him tremble, Mr. Sud, wouldn't I ask him if he had a chill?
Sud. It's not your business to be looking his way just then. Again, Inkwell.
[Inkwell trembles, etc.]
