Susan (starting): What’s the matter?
Rose: It is he.
Susan: He? Who’s he?
Rose: The same.
Susan: Who’s the same?
Rose: The doctor.
Susan: What of the doctor?
Rose: The doctor is—Romeo!
Susan (dropping the book which Rose had passed to her): Lord!
(At the sound of the book falling, Mr. Valdingam turns and perceives the two women. Then he catches Dr. Van Hyde by the arm.)
