Opis: Who's Guilty? (Classic Reprint) - Jameson Leslie

Excerpt from Who's Guilty

Curtain - (Mrs. Green and James Highler are tidying up the room). Mrs. Green: - "My, my, this strange affair is setting me wild. For the last two weeks since Mr. Crestline's strange disappearance, the place has been topsy-turvy. I wonder where the poor man is Anyway, Mrs. Crestline has telephoned to Pinkerton's for a detective, cause I heard her, and it will be worse than ever, everybody under suspicion, and hardly daring to breathe." (Stops for breath).

James: - "Yes mum."

Mrs. Green: - "What with Tim Hawkins the gardener trying to make love to me all the while I'm so upset, - you can't blame him of course for making love to a pretty widow, - but he is so slow, and not half as handsome as Mr. Green was when living."

James: - "Yes mum." (Fidgets about and looks around furtively).

Mrs. Green: - "Well, I hope they find Mr. Crestline well and happy, though no doubt in my mind but what he is now mouldering in his grave - gone two weeks and not a sign of him. The Misses doesn't want any publicity for stocks would drop down and what not - he is such a big man on Wall Street, you know - and oh, so rich."

James: - "So I've heard mum." (Starts to leave).

Mrs. Green: - "Why James, what is wrong with your wrist, it is all swelled up"

James: - (nervously) "It is nothing mum, a mere bump."

Mrs. Green: - (Haughtily) "Well, it looks more than a bump to me and bandaged too, but I suppose its none of my business - (then confidential) But James, couldn't you make Tim Hawkins a little bit jealous by making love to me" (Grabs him by coat).

James: - (Irritated) "No mum, I wouldn't care to."

Mrs. Green: - "Oh, you're afraid that you might fall in love with me yourself, - I don't blame you - so many men have done that since Mr. Green went to his just reward."

James: - (Again trying to get away) "Can't say, didn't know him mum." (Mrs. Crestline enters suddenly from R. D., and misunderstands the situation.)

Mrs. Crestline: - "That will do James." (Very dignified).

James: - (With a great start, bowing) "Yes mum." (Exits L.D).
