THE THIRD ACT
153
Joe
It just happened. There was reasons you don’t know about. I’m a swell guy, ain’t I? To do a thing like that to a fellow like Tony.
The Doctor
Shall I tell Tony? Or Amy?
Joe
No. . . . Gimme time to think.
The Doctor
There’s no concealing this. Don’t try anything of that sort. I won’t have it.
Joe
No.
The Doctor
This is going to come near killing him.
[Joe nods fearsomely. The Doctor turns and is going when Amy appears, marshalling Angelo and Giorgio.]
Amy
Just cut out the welcome to our city stuff and carry this chair down there under the arbour where the boss is. [As they pick it up, she turns to the Doctor.]
