Roberts appears at the outer door of his apartment on the fifth floor. It opens upon a spacious landing, to which a wide staircase ascends at one side. At the other is seen the grated door to the shaft of the elevator. He peers about on all sides, and listens for a moment before he speaks.
Roberts: “Hello yourself.”
Miller, invisibly from the shaft: “Is that you, Roberts?”
Roberts: “Yes; where in the world are you?”
Miller: “In the elevator.”
