PRAG has the pistol levelled at him.)
PRAG. Recognize the unions, or I shoot!
ASHER. Lower that pistol! Do you think you can intimidate me?
PRAG. They can hang me,--I die for freedoms!
(He is apparently about to pull the trigger, but he does not. His
eyes are drawn away from ASHER, toward the doorway, lower right,
where DR. JONATHAN is seen standing, gazing at him. Gradually his
arm drops to his side, and DR. JONATHAN goes up to him and takes the
pistol from his hand. PRAG breaks down, sobbing violently.)
It is no good! I can't--now.
DR. JONATHAN (his hand on PRAG'S shoulder). Come with me, Prag, to my
house.
(He leads PRAG, shaken by sobs, out of the doorway, upper right,
and they are seen through the windows crossing the lawn and
disappearing.)
AUGUSTA. Oh, Asher!
(She goes up to him and puts her hand on his arm, and then turns to
MINNIE.)
You saved him
MINNIE. Dr. Jonathan saved him. He'd save everybody, if they'd let him.
Ever since he took care of Prag's wife, when she died, he's got him
hypnotized.
ASHER. You've done a brave thing, Minnie. I shan't forget it.
MINNIE. I want you to forget it. I wouldn't like to see anybody hurt.
AUGUSTA.
