(TULLY watching his opportunity, works up to window, picks up clothes and cushions and steals out by window R.)
(MAMIE crosses to PAMELA.) Now, Mrs. Ayers, that necklace was lent to me and its real owner is waiting at the door of your flat. If I don’t take it back to him at once you’ll have the police on your track. Am I to take it back or not?
(PAMELA hesitates.)
You refuse? You refuse?
PAMELA (hands necklace to MAMIE) Oh, very well, take it to him. (Crosses to writing-desk up L.) I don’t want a vulgar scene over a paltry thirty-shilling necklace. (Sits.)
MAMIE. Thirty shillings! That shows how much you know, and also that this necklace cannot possibly be your property—I’m sorry you made such a mistake. (Going up to window R.) Thirty shillings—that’s really good—I must tell the Rajah that! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
(Exit MAMIE window R., laughing loudly.)
PAMELA (rushes to door L., opens it). John! John!
(AUNT HANNAH screams. PAMELA closes door, rushes across to door R. URSULA enters door R. holding poker in hand and looking very formidable, she advances in a threatening manner.)
