SCENE 30: _Teddy’s Bedroom (same as 4.)

Teddy is sitting on edge of bed, in dressing gown, towel about his head. A most abject specimen. Butler is arranging him a Bromo Seltzer. Butler registers he hears the bell ring. Teddy orders him to go and answer the door, throwing Bromo Seltzer bottle after him. Butler returns following Jackson. Jackson laughs at Teddy’s predicament. Butler arranges another Bromo Seltzer for him. He drinks it while effervescing and chokes on it, Butler slaps him violently on back. Jackson tells Teddy of his two engagements. Teddy registers horror! Goes to phone.

SUBTITLE NO. 9: “_I must break these engagements off at once._”

_Timid Teddy_
