STEW:

I know those bluenoses. Their

ancestors refused to come over on

the Mayflower because they didn't

want to rub elbows with the

tourists. So they swam over.

He turns away and exits.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN:

EXT. THE SCHUYLER HOUSE - DAY - MEDIUM SHOT

Someone pacing outside the mansion gates.

EXT. THE SCHUYLER HOUSE (ANOTHER ANGLE) - DAY - CLOSE SHOT

A guard dog pacing inside the gates.

INT. INSIDE THE MANSION - DAY - CLOSE SHOT

A parrot on its perch, hopping from foot to foot.

INT. SCHUYLER DRAWING ROOM - DAY - CLOSE SHOT

Michael Schuyler, a callow youth with the usual dissipated,

spoiled look. His fingers are nipping out little chunks of

a folded piece of paper, dropping the bits on the floor.

This is indicative of a habit of the individual in question

when undergoing nervous stress. He is very fidgety and

apprehensive, as he glances around.

CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW

Anne Schuyler, a beautiful and aristocratic, though slightly

hard girl, a few years older than Michael.

CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW

Mrs. Stuyvesand Van Alstyne Schuyler, mother of Anne and

Michael. A grande dame, stern and glowering. Her attitude

indicates suppressed nervousness and anger. She glares

over in the direction of Michael. Then she turns and looks

in another direction.

MRS. SCHUYLER

(viciously)

Dexter Grayson, if you were any

kind of a lawyer, you'd get those

letters back!

CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW

Dexter Grayson, the family lawyer standing, his hands

clasped behind his back, just completing the pacing of a

few short steps in his best courtroom manner, his head

bowed in an attitude of deepest thought. He is dressed in

striped afternoon trousers and black coat. He turns to

regard Mrs. Schuyler.
