Daisy. Give me the headdress.

Harry. [Outside.] Open the door.

Daisy. Be quick.

Amah. I no understand. You die, Daisy. You die.

[The knocking is repeated more violently.

Harry. [Shouting.] Daisy! Amah! Open the door. If you don't open I'll break it down.

[Daisy is ready. She steps on to the pallet and sits in the Chinese fashion.

Daisy. Go to the door. Open when I tell you.

[There is by Daisy's side a box in which are the paints and pencils the Chinese lady uses to make up her face. Daisy opens it. She takes out a hand mirror.

Harry. Who's there? Open, I tell you! Open!
