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.
