d him and tell him not
to come in here. This man's crazy.

PRAG (struggling with MINNIE). Crazy, is it? What is it to you--what
I do with Mr. Pindar. He is also your enemy--the enemy of all work-
peoples.

(AUGUSTA, after a second's indecision, turns and runs toward the
door, left, that leads into ASHER's study. MINNIE tries to push
PRAG toward the doorway, upper right, but she is no match for the
nervous strength he is able to summon up in his fanatical frenzy.
Just as AUGUSTA reaches the study door, it is flung open and ASHER
appears.)

ASHER. What's the matter?

(Then he sees MINNIE and PRAG struggling and strides toward them.
AUGUSTA tries to prevent him reaching them. PRAG wrenches himself
free from MINNIE and draws a pistol front his pocket. MINNIE flings
herself between him and ASHER, who momentarily halts, too astonished
to act.)

PRAG (to MINNIE). Get avay! He kill my wife, he drive me out of my
home--he will not have the unions. I shoot him! Get oudt!

ASHER. Stand aside, Minnie, I'll take care of him.

(AUGUSTA cries out. ASHER advances, seizes MINNIE by the shoulder
and thrusts her aside. 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. But--how did you happen to be here--in Foxon Falls?

MINNIE. Oh, I did
