Mrs. Crashaw: “Yes, and young Mr. Bemis. Didn’t I tell you we were all here?”
Roberts: “I couldn’t realize it. Well, wait a moment.”
Mrs. Curwen: “Oh, you can trust us to wait.”
Roberts, returning with Dr. Lawton, and Mr. Bemis, who join him in stooping around the grated door of the shaft: “They’re just under here in the well of the elevator, midway between the two stories.”
Lawton: “Ha! ha! ha! You don’t say so.”
Bemis: “Bless my heart! What are they doing there?”
Miller: “We’re not doing anything.”
Mrs. Curwen: “We’re waiting for you to do something.”
Miss Lawton: “Oh, papa!”
Lawton: “Don’t be troubled, Lou, we’ll soon have you out.”
