DR. JONATHAN ( taking the phial and the dropper from MINNIE). With your permission. In any case it can do no harm.
DR. FRYE. By all means: If I had realized you were here—!
(ASHER looks on in astonishment. DR. JONATHAN measures out a few
drops of the liquid from the phial into the glass of water, which
MINNIE holds.)
DR. JONATHAN. George, will you take this?
(He holds the glass while GEORGE drinks. To Dr. FRYE:)
There's a lounge in Mr. Pindar's study.
(To AUGUSTA:) Get a blanket.
(AUGUSTA goes toward the door, lower right, while MINNIE Starts to
retire.)
We'll need you, Minnie.
(He hands MINNIE the glass, dropper and phial. The two physicians
pick GEORGE up and carry him out, left, followed by MINNIE. ASHER
goes a little way and then halts with a despairing gesture. AUGUSTA
having gone for the blanket, ASHER is left alone, pacing, until she
returns.)
