We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Susan. — Listen. He’s here! ( She fades slightly . . . calls in a hoarse whisper ) I’m all ready. Be right down. ( Whispering ) Oh, Peggy. I’m so excited. Where’s my bag?
Peggy. — How are you going to get down from the window? Float ?
Susan. — Oh, no. There’s a ladder. I put it there myself. Chris said that would save him trouble.
Peggy. — Hm. Apparently Chris thinks of everything.
Susan. — Everything. Well, good-by, darling. Wish me luck.

Susan. — Maybe you’re right. My fur coat . . .
Peggy. — It’s here in your closet. ( Sound . . . door opens ) Better get it.
Susan. — {Fading slightly) Yes, I’ll . . .
Sound. — Door slams . . . key turns.
Susan. — Cries out ad lib from behind door , “ Let me out of here. What are you going to do ?” etc., etc., etc.
Chris. — Whistles again in the distance.
Peggy. — ( Calling ) I’m coming. {Then to herself) Elope with my kid sister, will you, you son of Henry Morgan. I’ll show you.
Music and Sound. — Starting with above speech . . . clambering over window sill . . . special effect of descending ladder over above . . . footsteps on gravel . . . fade in sound of idling motor.
Chris. — Hello.
Peggy. — Hello.
Chris. — No bag?
Peggy. — No bag? Oh, no. No bag.
Chris. — Then get in the car.
Peggy. — {Taken aback) Get in?
