_] Dick!
[_She stands waiting, breathless._ STEVEN _steals out with his arm
about_ LOUISE.

It can't be true! They killed him, those brutes out there! You told me

[_She stops suddenly, looking up. The door-knob of the door Left turns.

[DICK _goes towards her, but stops. She starts towards him, stops a

slowly, almost fearfully, till she reaches him._
DICK. [_Moving to her._] Georgy!
[_He stands before her with both arms bandaged in a sling._
GEORGIANA. [_Whispers._] Dick! [_Looks him straight in the eyes--he
looks back. She cries out._] Dick!
[_Holding out her arms toward him._
DICK. Georgy! [_He looks down at his arms._] My arms--I can't--
GEORGIANA.
