ACT III
Doctor : Then I suggest you take Mrs. Grey to the nursery.
Kitty (with a sudden violence, amounting almost to a cry) : No! No . . . don’t let her go up . . . she’s not to go up!
Doctor : Mrs. Baldry.
Kitty (pulling herself together) : The things are all in a box, packed. All his toys and clothes and everything. I’ll have it brought down here. I don’t want her to go up.
Doctor : Oh, very well.
Kitty rings the bell. There is an ominous silence until Ellen comes.
Ellen : You rang, ma’am?
Kitty : Yes. Ellen, I want you to go up to the nursery, and bring down a trunk that’s by the window. Here’s the key.
[She gives it her from her bag.
You’ll probably find it rather heavy. You’d better ask Marsh or Webb to help you with it.
Frank : Shall I go and help?
Kitty : If you would, Frank.
Ellen : Very good, ma’am.
Kitty : Bring it down here. Do you understand?
Ellen : Yes, ma’am.
[She goes out L. Frank goes, too.
