_Peggy._ I thought he went off!

_Will._ Well, there's no law to prevent his coming back, is there?
(_The Play-play begins to appear._) He's grumbling because he thinks
Jack will eat too much. (_Full light on Play-play. Peggy and Will
make secret exit._)

so soon as I find him eating double orders! He haf noddings to eat

takes newspaper._)

_Bill._ Sure I got money.

_Schmidt._ Let me see it.

_Bill._ Hully gee! Before I eat?
