Jack. Get her hat and coat. Don't stop for anything else. Come on, Belle, I'll help you. We've no time to lose. (Puts arm about her and half carries her Left.)
Belle. Won't you tell me what's the matter?
Jack. I'm going to take you to some friends. (To Dolly.) We'll find a cab.
Dolly. No, they'd trace us!
Jack. Well, we can get to the subway, I suppose. (To Belle.) Dearest Belle—listen to me. I love you. And I'm going to make you well. I've been able to get money—all we need, heaps and heaps of it. And you're going to Florida. You'll be there in a few days—the very place my sister went to. Perhaps she'll go with you. So come! Come! (Exit, leading Belle.)
Dolly (hurries about, gathering Belle's wraps and her own). Where's your coat, boy?
Bill. Ain't got none. Say! What's this about Florida?
Dolly. I don't know.
Bill. Youse tryin' to cheer up Belle?
Dolly (gathering up her belongings in great haste). Maybe so.
