Hush!
(HARRY enters, carrying his silk muffler, which now is wrapped
about a collection of jewels and watches.)
HATCH:
That's quick work. What did you get?
HARRY:
Some neck strings, and rings, and two watches.
(He spreads the muffler on the table. The three men examine the
jewelry.)
HATCH:
That looks good. Who's up there?
HARRY:
Only an old lady and a young girl in the room over this. And she's
a beauty, too.
(Sentimentally.)
Sleeping there just as sweet and peaceful--
REDDY:
Ah, why don't you give her back HER watch? Maybe she's ANOTHER
dead daughter.
HATCH:
That's all right, Harry. That's good stuff. Pick up that bag,
Reddy. We can go now.
(HARRY places muffler and jewels in an inside coat pocket. REDDY
takes up the dark lantern.)
REDDY:
Go? Not till I've got something to eat.
HATCH:
No, you don't. You can wait till later for something to eat.
REDDY:
Yes, I can wait till later for something to eat, but I can wait
better if I eat now.
(Exit into pantry.)
HATCH:
Confound him. If I knew the roads around here as well as he does,
I'd drive off and leave him.
