104 Probably nothing more than a broken down cab. See what it is, Parsons.

. There's the bell, sir! There's somebody 'urt, sir, an' they're a-wantin' you!

Well, don't allow anybody to come in! (Looks at watch) I have no more time. (Hurriedly gathers papers up.)

Very well, sir. (Exit at door ., leaving door open.)

But they're coming in, doctor. (Retreats backward up until a little above from )

(moving toward door ). Parsons! Parsons! ( watches from up )

(outside). We 'ad to bring 'im in, man.

(outside). There's nowhere else to go!

(outside). The doctor can't see anybody.

(outside). Well, let the old gent lay 'ere awhile, can't yer. It's common decency. Wot 'ave yer got a red lamp 'angin' outside yer bloomin' door for!

(outside). Yes! yes! let him stay.

They would bring 'im in, sir. It's an old gentleman as was 'urt a bit w'en the cab upset!

(up ) Oh!

Let then put him here. (Indicating operating chair up ) And send at once for Doctor Anstruther.

Yes, sir.

Help him in, Parsons.

Oh doctor isn't it frightful.

(turning to door up ). Mrs. Seaton if you will be so good as to step this way, you can reach the hall, by taking the first door to your left.
