The Raven1963

[Estelle enter her room. Rexford is hiding behind the door and covers her mouth to prevent her from screaming]

Rexford Bedlo:
Shhhhhh.

[Estell struggles with a muffled scream]

Rexford Bedlo:
I was afraid you would scream.

[he uncovers her mouth and releases his grip on her]

Estelle Craven:
Is anything wrong?

Rexford Bedlo:
Don't be alarmed but I'm afraid Dr. Scarabus killed my father.

Estelle Craven:
Killed him?

Rexford Bedlo:
Yes, during the dueling I observed Dr. Scarabus making furtive gestures with his fingers. Now we must speak to your father.

Estelle Craven:
But I already have. He trusts Dr. Scarabus.

Rexford Bedlo:
We'll have to try.

[they return to the door but it won't open]

Rexford Bedlo:
It's locked!

Estelle Craven:
What'll we do?

[Rexford looks around the room and goes to the window, opens it and looks out]

Estelle Craven:
What are you doing?

Rexford Bedlo:
This ledge leads to your father's room.

Estelle Craven:
But you might be killed!

Rexford Bedlo:
I hope not!

[he exits through the window]
