(Re-enter Malcolm, Leek, Beldon and George L.)
(Beldon and George go up to back C.)
Hirst. Did you see it? (In his frightened manner.)
Malcolm (C.) I don't know—I thought I saw something, but it might have been fancy. I'm in the mood to see anything just now. (To Hirst.) How are you feeling now, sir?
Hirst. Oh, I feel a bit better now. I daresay you think I'm easily scared—but you didn't see it.
Malcolm. Well, I'm not quite sure. (Goes to fire.)
Leek. You've had a bit of a shock. Best thing you can do is to go to bed.
Hirst (finishing his drink). Very well. Will you, (rises) share my room with me, Somers?
(George lights two candles.)
Somers (crosses to L. C.). I will with pleasure. (Gets up to table C. and gets a candle). Provided you don't mind sleeping with the gas full on all night. (Goes to door L.)
