_Dolly (enters Right, supporting Belle)._ Come on, dear. Jack is
going to take us with him.

_Belle._ But I'm too sick to go out.

_Dolly._ You must, dear.

_Belle._ I'm not dressed.

_Jack._ Get her hat and coat. Don't stop for anything else. Come on,
Belle, I'll help you. We've no time to lose. _(Puts arm about her
and half carries her Left.)_

_Belle._ Won't you tell me what's the matter?

_Jack._ I'm going to take you to some friends. _(To Dolly.)_ We'll
find a cab.

_Dolly._ No, they'd trace us!

_Jack._ Well, we can get to the subway, I suppose. _(To Belle.)_
Dearest Belle--listen to me. I love you. And I'm going to make you
well. I've been able to get money--all we need, heaps and heaps of
it. And you're going to Florida. You'll be there in a few days--the
very place my sister went to. Perhaps she'll go with you. So come!
Come! _(Exit, leading Belle.)_

_Dolly (hurries about, gathering Belle's wraps and her own)._
Where's your coat, boy?
