SCENE 10: _Interior of Ransom’s Home (The living room)._

Tom Ransom sitting smoking when Maid announces Teddy, who enters

and is welcomed by Tom. Tom goes to door and calls Janice, who

enters, and, upon seeing Teddy, welcomes him exuberantly, sitting

on a settee, she shifts over and makes room for Teddy, calling him

beside her. Tom, seeing this, makes an excuse to leave on business.

The maid brings his hat and coat. Tom exits. Teddy looks around in

desperation, finding himself alone with Janice, attempts to follow

Tom. Janice pulls him back down on settee by coat-tails, putting

her arm around his neck, after he is down, and trying to make love

to him. Teddy struggles and eventually gets away. Hurriedly exits,

without his hat. Janice registers chagrin.
