(SAL _wearily resumes her attitude of rest with her arms on bed_, _and the Vision Scene goes on_. DURDLES _appears beckoning off_, _unlocks crypt and enters_. _As he does so_ GREWGIOUS _and_ ROSA _come on from direction indicated by_ DURDLES’S _beckoning_, _all the others in scene coming from the same place_. ROSA _clings to her guardian’s arm_. _They stop in centre of stage opposite crypt_, _looking towards door_. NEVILLE _and_ HELENA _follow_. _They join_ GREWGIOUS _and_ ROSA. CRISPARKLE _and_ OPIUM SAL’S _Double come on_. OPIUM SAL’S _Double is pointing towards_ ROSA _and others_, _and_ CRISPARKLE _joins the group_. _The Double now stands near wing and beckons off_. _Townspeople come on and make group_, _Double at their head_, _she pointing towards crypt_; _they all look in that direction_. DURDLES _comes to door_, _beckons_ GREWGIOUS, _who goes in after_ DURDLES _to crypt_. _Groups now move a step or two nearer to entrance of crypt_. _Slight pause_. ROSA _clings to_ HELENA; NEVILLE _in dumb show whispers anxiously to_ HELENA _and_ ROSA, _as if to reassure and comfort them_. HELENA _stands proudly but anxious_; ROSA _droopingly_.) GREW. (_standing just outside crypt door_, _and addressing himself to_ CRISPARKLE). Keep the women back; this is no place for them. Edwin Drood has been foully murdered! (_Sensation in crowd_, _not indicated by noise_, _but dumb show_. ROSA _staggers_. NEVILLE _catches her in his arms_. JASPER _moves and groans in his sleep_. DURDLES _comes out of crypt_, _plucks_ GREWGIOUS _by the sleeve_, _and holds up_ JASPER’S _long black scarf_.) CRIS. Jasper’s scarf! (JASPER again groans on bed.) Where is Jasper? (_Goes to door of_ JASPER’S _house and knocks_. _This knocking must be made right at back of stage_.) GREW. It is no good knocking there. The murderer of Edwin Drood will be found in London! (_Sensation as before in crowd_. CRISPARKLE _still knocks_, _and between knocks faint rapping is heard at door of opium den_, _and_ JASPER _tosses about on bed_, _then starts up with a cry_, _the Vision disappearing the moment he stands on the floor_.) JASPER (_starting as if at what he has seen_). No, no. It’s a lie! (_Knocking at opium den door becomes louder_.) (_Turning to_ SAL, _who is now at other end of room_.) What’s that? SAL. They wants to come in. JASPER. Who wants to come in? (_Knocking is louder and louder_.) SAL. Why, the perlice. JASPER. The police! Damnation! The man who followed me here to-night! Then it’s all true. Durdles has found the body in spite of all my precautions, and I am lost. (Rushes wildly about room.) Is there no escape? Where’s the window? SAL. There ain’t no winder, deary.
