INSPECTOR. Do they know of the affair? WINSOR. Yes. INSPECTOR. Well, I'd just like the keys of their doors for a minute. My man will get them. He goes to the door, opens it, and speaks to a constable in the corridor. [To TREISURE] You can go with him. TREISURE goes Out. In the meantime I'll just examine the balcony. He goes out on the balcony, followed by DE LEVIS. WINSOR. [To CANYNGE] Damn De Levis and his money! It's deuced invidious, all this, General. CANYNGE. The Inspector's no earthly. There is a simultaneous re-entry of the INSPECTOR from the balcony and of TREISURE and the CONSTABLE from the corridor. CONSTABLE. [Handing key] Room on the left, Sir. [Handing key] Room on the right, sir. |
