URSULA (closing door almost on AUNT HANNAH). In there!!

(Noise off again.)

AUNT HANNAH. Thank you. Thank you!

(Exit AUNT HANNAH door L.)

URSULA (closes door, crosses up R.). ’Orrible neighbours—’orrible neighbours!

(Exit URSULA door R. TULLY appears in pyjamas, peeping through curtains R. of C. he steals into room and runs down to chair L.C., looks round room. JOHN crawls on through window R. of C. with blanket over him, following TULLY on.)

TULLY. Home at last. Home at last!

JOHN. It’s all right! (Throws blanket on chair at back.) I’ve made a barricade with the geranium pots. Nobody could get over without making a terrible smash. We should be sure to hear them.

TULLY. Good, then we’re safe for the moment. (Groans loudly.)
