Thank you, madame.
CROSBY (_coming down_ C.). I think after what we've seen, we must ask
Madame la Grange to submit to certain conditions.
ROSALIE. Anything at all, sir--anything at all.
MASON (_down_ R.). I agree with you. Frankly this woman impresses me.
I think this test should be taken seriously.
(MISS EASTWOOD _at the_ L. _end of the chesterfield, laughs_.)
WALES (L.C.). Just what I was going to say.
CROSBY (R.C.). If you will submit to the conditions we impose, Madame la
Grange, and then show us any manifestations, I will never scoff at
anything again.
ROSALIE. Scoffing is the easiest thing anybody can do.
(CROSBY _crosses down_ R. _below table_.)
If I could stop that even in one person, it would be a good thing. What
is it that you do want?
CROSBY. I want the window fastened.
MASON. That's the idea.
CROSBY (_coming in front of table_ R.). Then we will have the doors
locked. Will that be all right?
ROSALIE. Oh, certainly all right.
MISS EASTWOOD (_coming down_ L.C.). At the risk of seeming unnecessarily
sceptical, I'm going to suggest that we search Madame la Grange--that
is, of course, if she's willing.
(MISS ERSKINE _and_ MISS STANDISH _are at back of table_ R.)
ROSALIE (C.). But why not? There are no 'oles in my stockings.
(_All laugh_.
