BOY
Joe's out there, too.
HE
Well, yes.
SHE
Bob, I shall tell Father on you.
[_She starts._
BOY
All right, go ahead. I'll tell Ethel.
SHE
Just wait.
BOY
I'll get out of here!
[_Again the two rush precipitately to hold the Boy in place._
HE
Bob, be a man! You are childish and common. You are old enough to know better and I think it's an outrage for you to subject your sister to this fright. We can't go out of here just now--and you're making it very embarra.s.sing for us.
SHE
Mr. Gordon--there's a cape in that closet. Will you get it for Bob.... He says he's cold.
[_He goes to the closet._
SHE
Bob, I'll get even with you. You ought to be ashamed. I'm humiliated.
BOY
Why--Sis?
SHE
Imagine my being with a gentleman and having a very naked boy pop into the conversation.
[_He returns with the cape._
HE
Here's the cape.
[_He tosses it over the Boy's head and suddenly leans over and kisses her._
BOY
Why don't you smother me!
[_Boy begins to emerge._
SHE
Bob, be careful.
[_He and She turn away._
_The Boy rises and as he does so the cloak falls about him until, when he steps out of the curtains, he discloses trousers and shoes._
BOY
I can't go through the hall looking like this.
SHE
You must.
HE (_turning_)
Go away, Bob. Your sister is very nervous.
[_He sees the boy fairly well clothed. He gasps._
HE
Why--
SHE
Bob--
[_Turning she sees the boy fairly well clothed._
I thought--How did you--Why didn't you--What were you doing in there?
BOY
