Reggie. Columbus! So I am. Well, that is a dashed nuisance.
Gerald (coming forward nobly). My dear, dear friends, I cannot allow your happiness to be wrecked in this way. I killed Sir Frank! You can be married now.
Reggie. Good egg! (Embraces Violet.)
Inspector. Gerald Maristowe, I arrest you for the murder of Sir Frank Bulkeley, Bart., and I warn you that anything you may say will be used in evidence against you.
Violet. Oh, we must save him. What can we do?
Clarkson. Lady, do you remember years ago giving sixpence to a starving boy in Peckham Rye?
Violet. Yes.
Clarkson. I am—that is, was—that boy. I will save your friend. Inspector, you know that a reward of £10,000 is offered for the capture of the anarchist Mazzio?
Inspector. Yes. I wish to heaven I could lay my hands on him.
Clarkson. I can tell you how to do so.
