Mrs. Crashaw: “We’re all here, Edward.”

Roberts: “What! You, Aunt Mary!”

Mrs. Crashaw: “Yes. Didn’t I say so?”

Roberts: “Why don’t you come up?”

Miller: “We can’t. The elevator has got stuck somehow.”

Roberts: “Got stuck? Bless my soul! How did it happen? How long have you been there?”

Mrs. Curwen: “Since the world began!”

Miller: “What’s the use asking how it happened? We don’t know, and we don’t care. What we want to do is to get out.”

Roberts: “Yes, yes! Be careful!” He rises from his frog-like posture at the grating, and walks the landing in agitation. “Just hold on a minute!”

Miller: “Oh, we sha’n’t stir.”
