Cut-in leader—­

     “WILL THOSE PAPERS NEVER BE DONE WITH?  WELL—­HURRY.  I’M
     PACKED TO START FOR THE NORTH WOODS TONIGHT.”

     Oldport grins cheerfully, saying: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “THE WORST HAS NOT BEEN TOLD YOU.  THE PAPERS WILL NOT BE
     READY TILL MONDAY—­SO YOU WILL HAVE TO AMUSE YOURSELF FOR A
     DAY AND A HALF—­”

     Blinker flings out, disgusted.

37—­Ella’s room.

     Florence comes in, in her work-day clothes, and prepares to
     get out a quite new summer frock.

38—­Blinker’s apartment.

Blinker in, and man taking off coat, etc.  Summer garb.  Blinker disgusted with life.  Reads paper.  Man obsequious—­comedy touch with proffer of numbers of varieties of cigarettes.

39—­Ella’s room.

     Florence dressed in summer frock.  Wonders what to do with
     herself—­plans, counts money—­decides and goes out.

40—­Apartment.

     Blinker reads “ad.” in paper and suddenly says to his man: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “SIMONDS, I’M GOING TO CONEY ISLAND.”

Man bows as if he had said he was going to drown himself.  Blinker bids man fetch some cool outing flannels—­he acts as if he were preparing to go to be shot, but must face it.  Ennui driving him.

Leader—­

     FOR ONCE HOI-POLLOI JOSTLES, BUSTLES AND HARASSES THE
     ARISTOCRATIC BLINKER.

41—­Dock, gangplank.

     Comedy with Blinker in a mob of “kidders” on the way to a
     Coney Island boat.

42—­Deck chair or camp stool, on Coney Island boat.

     Florence is staring out over water.  Turns.  Sees something.

43—­Deck location.

     Blinker coming out of mob—­catching hat, effect of tipping
     it.

44—­Deck, wider view.

     Florence affects to be freezing.  Blinker notices her, and is
     abashed.

45—­Close-up of Florence.

     Florence freezing, says: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “HOW DARE YOU LIFT YOUR HAT TO ME, SIR?”

     Haughty.

46—­Close-up of Blinker.

     Blinker stammers: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “I DIDN’T—­”

     Then starts, admiring.

47—­Close-up of Florence.

     Florence freezing, yet eyes twinkle.

48—­Wider-angle view.

     Blinker quickly corrects himself by adding: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “I DIDN’T SEE HOW I COULD HELP IT—­AFTER I SAW YOU.”

     She appears mollified.  He sits.

49—­Closer view, toward water.

     Florence says: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “I DON’T ALLOW GENTLEMEN TO SIT BESIDE ME TO WHOM I HAVE NOT
     BEEN INTRODUCED.”
