Frank, a typical street-flirt, is lounging, watching some
girls pass; they laugh and nudge each other; then Florence
comes out of shop and Frank, lifting cap, falls into step
beside her. Depict innocence on Florence's part--she does
not "get his drift."[48]
[Footnote 48: This scene-sequence develops character, with contrast of
the two leads; also registers that Florence's future conduct is
influenced by Ella--not voluntary.]
23--Exterior of golf club.
Blinker arrives in haste, to find friends and players
waiting. Emphasize his egotism and self-centeredness as they
start off for the golf links.
24--Street in tenement district.
Frank is keeping up with Florence as she comes on. He takes
her arm. She stops dead still. Sudden fear shows in her
face. Tearing herself free, she fairly runs from the scene,
Frank staring in surprise, and indicating "Holy
Mackerel--stuck up little skirt!"
25--Door in Brickdust Row.
Florence comes hurrying on, looks over her shoulder to be
sure she is not followed, and rushes into house.
26--Golf course.
Blinker tees up and drives. He shows satisfaction as he
watches the flight of the ball, then sets off, smiling at
his caddie's muttered "Some drive!"
27--Ella's room.
