(He goes out, lower right. AUGUSTA sits for a while, motionless,
and then makes an attempt to go on with her knitting. A man's face
is seen pressed against the glass of the middle window. AUGUSTA
does not perceive him. He disappears, the glass door, upper right,
opens slowly and PRAG enters! His clothes are wet, he is unshaven,
he is gaunt and ill, and his eyed gleans. He leaves the door open
behind him. Once inside the room, he halts and stares at AUGUSTA,
who gathers up her knitting and rises. She does not lack courage.)
AUGUSTA. What do you want?
PRAG. I come to see Mr. Pindar.
AUGUSTA. The proper place to see Mr. Pindar is in his office. What do you mean by forcing your way into this house?
PRAG (advancing). I have no right here—it is too fine for me, yes?
(Through the window the figure of a woman is seen running across the
lawn, and a moment later MINNIE FARRELL comes in through the open
doorway, upper right. She is breathless and somewhat wet.)
AUGUSTA. Minnie!
PRAG (turning and confronting MINNIE). So! You come back to Foxon Falls, too!
MINNIE. You guessed it.
PRAG. You follow me?
