[0028] can muster backstage into darkness.[0029] Ten
seconds.[0030] Loud pop of cork.[0031] Fifteen
seconds.[0032] He comes back into light carrying
an old ledger and sits down at table.[0033] He
lays ledger on table, wipes his mouth,
wipes his hands on the front of his
waistcoat, brings them smartly together
and rubs them.
[0034] (briskly).[0035] Ah![0036] (He bends over ledger, turns
the pages, finds the entry he wants, reads.)
[0037] Box ... thrree ... spool ... five.[0038] (He raises
his head and stares front.[0039] With relish.)
[0040] Spool![0041] (Pause.)[0042] Spooool![0043] (Happy smile.
[0044] Pause.[0045] He bends over table, starts peering
and poking at the boxes.)
