CRAIG’S WIFE
109
Craig
- I think I’ll call Birkmire up and see if they’ve been to see him.
Mrs. Craig (with a panicky movement towards him)
- Now, wait a minute, Walter! (She puts his hat on the table as she crosses above it) You’re not going to do anything of the kind.
Craig
- Why not?
Mrs. Craig (taking the telephone from him)
- Now, go away from this ’phone. (She draws him forward by the arm, away from the telephone) Let me tell you something.
Craig
- What’s the matter?
Mrs. Craig
- Don’t you realize that that telephone is being watched—and that they are probably watching Birkmire’s too?
Craig
- Who is?
Mrs. Craig
- Why, the Police, of course. Haven’t you any realization of your position in this affair?
Craig
- I evidently haven’t the same realization that you have.
Mrs. Craig
- Well, it’s time you did have.
Craig
- It is?
Mrs. Craig
- Yes, it is.
