MINNIE. But you're some sprinter! (She seizes him by the arm.) Come on, Prag,—you haven't got any business here, and you know it.
PRAG (stubbornly). I come to see Mr. Pindar. I vill see him!
AUGUSTA. He isn't home.
PRAG. Then I vait for him.
MINNIE (glancing toward the study door, where she suspects ASHER is). No you don't, either! You come along with me.
(She pulls him, and he resists. They begin to struggle. AUGUSTA
cries out and runs to MINNIE's assistance.)
Keep away, Mrs. Pindar. If Mr. Pindar's home, find him and tell him not to come in here. This man's crazy.
PRAG (struggling with MINNIE). Crazy, is it? What is it to you—what I do with Mr. Pindar. He is also your enemy—the enemy of all work-peoples.
(AUGUSTA, after a second's indecision, turns and runs toward the
door, left, that leads into ASHER's study. MINNIE tries to push
PRAG toward the doorway, upper right, but she is no match for the
nervous strength he is able to summon up in his fanatical frenzy.
Just as AUGUSTA reaches the study door, it is flung open and ASHER
appears.)
ASHER. What's the matter?
