CRAIG’S WIFE
- of course, I couldn’t tell them; because you were here when I left the room, and then you suddenly disappeared. (Turning away to the right) I was never placed in such a position in my life. I’m sure those men must have thought I was evading them. (Turning back to him again) But I didn’t know what to say to them—except that you’d probably taken a little walk around the neighborhood here; because I’d sent Mazie over to the garage to look for you as soon as I saw the paper, and she said both the cars were in there.
Craig
- I went out in Birkmire’s car.
Mrs. Craig
- Where did you go with him?
Craig
- Over to Fergus’ house.
Mrs. Craig
- And what in heaven’s name did you do a thing like that for, Walter!
Craig
- Why not?
Mrs. Craig
- Supposing you’d run into somebody out there?
Craig
- And what if I did?
Mrs. Craig
- Do you want your name to be dragged into this thing?
Craig
- My name ’ll be dragged into it anyway, won’t it?
Mrs. Craig
- Why will it?
