(The file is now drawn harshly across the bolt of the window of the
dining room, and a piece of wood snaps. With an exclamation, Alice
blows out the candle and exits. The shutters of the windows are
opened, admitting the faint glow of moonlight. The window is
raised and the ray of a dark lantern is swept about the room.
HATCH appears at window and puts one leg inside. He is an elderly
man wearing a mask which hides the upper half of his face, a heavy
overcoat, and a derby hat. But for the mask he might be mistaken
for a respectable man of business. A pane of glass falls from the
window and breaks on the sill.)
HATCH:
(Speaking over his shoulder)

(He enters. He is followed by "GRAND STAND" HARRY, a younger man
of sporting appearance. He also wears a mask, and the brim of his
gray alpine hat is pulled over his eyes. Around his throat he
wears a heavy silk muffler).
It's all right. Come on. Hurry up, and close those shutters.
HARRY:
(to REDDY outside)
Give me the bag, Reddy.
(REDDY appears at window.
