ASHER. You think it wise?
DR. JONATHAN. Under the circumstances yes. The heart is practically normal again, we have done all that is physically possible. One half of the experiment seems to have succeeded, and the sooner we try the other half, the better. Are you still willing?
ASHER. I'm prepared. I've carried out your—instructions—sent for the committee.
DR. JONATHAN (looking at him). Good!
ASHER (with an effort). Jonathan, I—I guess I misjudged you—
DR. JONATHAN (Smiling). Wait until you are sure. Nothing matters if we can save that boy. By the way, he asked for Timothy, and I've sent for him.
ASHER. He asked for Timothy, and not for me!
DR. JONATHAN. It seems he saw an officer of Bert's regiment, after the boy was killed. Here's the committee, I think.
(The MAID enters, lower right. She does not speak, but ushers in
HILLMAN, RENCH and FERSEN, and retires.)
HILLMAN. | RENCH. |-Good evening, Mr. Pindar. Good evening, doctor. FERSEN. |
