BARTHWICK. Was the house all right this morning? None of the
windows open? MARLOW. No, sir. [Quietly to JACK.] You left your latch-key in the door last night, sir. [He hands it back, unseen by BARTHWICK] JACK. Tst! BARTHWICK. Who's been in the room this morning? MARLOW. Me and Wheeler, and Mrs. Jones is all, sir, as far as I know. BARTHWICK. Have you asked Mrs. Barthwick? [To JACK.] Go and ask your mother if she's had it; ask her to look and see if she's missed anything else. [JACK goes upon this mission.] Nothing is more disquieting than losing things like this. MARLOW. No, sir. BARTHWICK. Have you any suspicions? MARLOW, No, sir. |
