SECRET PEOPLE 91 bill : Good evening. What a beautiful bag. Have you a light? 27 Clown, Guests. (Location.) The next turn begins — a musical clown. 28 Maria and Bill. (Location.) Maria's eyes are on the clown, refusing to acknowledge Bill's presence. bill (uncertain) : Have you alight? Curious tracery ... Maria, immobile, her face set, looks past him towards the clown. Bill falters. Suddenly a vulgar burst of laughter, in a man's voice, very prolonged and sickeningly demonstrative. Maria looks sideways. 29 General Galbern, Distinguished Man, Bodyguard, Guests (Location) . Camera shooting from Maria's eye line (sideways) . She sees, several yards away, Galbern sitting at a table. The tails of his coat sweeping the lawn as he rocks on his chair, convulsed with laughter. A distinguished-looking man and a bodyguard share his table. 30 Maria, Bill (Location). Maria's reaction is instantaneous. She opens her bag and Bill, relaxing, takes the silver cigarette-case. Maria strikes her cigarette-lighter, her eyes still on Galbern. Bill lights his cigarette. bill; Thank you very much. 31 Clown (Location). Camera shooting from backs of guests on to the stage where the clown is performing one of his important gags. 32 Bill, Galbern, Guests (Location). Camera shooting from stage angle towards guests where Bill is seen approaching Galbern' s table.
