(_BELSON appears in the doorway. After a pause, OMETSU lifting up
her face to kiss JACK’S cheek, sees him over JACK’S shoulder.
She gives a little scream and breaks away. JACK turns in his seat
and looks in the direction of BELSON. For a moment he stares at
him, and then rises slowly, gripping the rail of his chair. OMETSU
sidles up and lays a hand on his arm, and looks up at his face
with apprehension. The two men face each other for several seconds
without speaking._)
BELSON (in a hard voice). Mr. Maitland! (_JACK makes no reply, and
BELSON comes half way towards them._)
JACK (_hoarsely_). What do you want--sir?
