MISS LAWTON: "Papa!" MRS. CRASHAW: "Agne-e-e-s!" MRS. CURWEN, faintly: "Walter!" THE ELEVATOR BOY: "Say!" MILLER: "Oh, that won't do. All join in 'Hello!'" ALL: "Hello!" MILLER: "Once more!" ALL: "Hello!" MILLER: "ONCE more!" ALL: "Hello!" MILLER: "Now wait a while." After an interval: "No, nobody coming." He takes out his watch. "We must repeat this cry at intervals of a half-minute. Now, then!" They all join in the cry, repeating it as MR. MILLER makes the signal with his lifted hand. MISS LAWTON: "Oh, it's no use!" MRS. CRASHAW: "They don't hear." |
