The cat escapes

The cat escapes

By Nicholas Dewhurst

(Scarlet is sitting at a desk with the rest of the chairs in a row next to the desk. Mr and Ms Corlett come in the door and sit at a chair.  Ms Corlett comes in the door squeezing Blacky. Blacky is wriggling like mad.)

Ms Corlett: My, this cat is hard to hold.

Mr Corlett: I told you we should have brought the cage!

Blacky: I am tired of wriggling.

(Blacky stops wriggling and starts scratching like mad.)

Ms Corlett: ouch!

(Ms Corlett drops Blacky)

Ms Corlett: oops

(Conor opens the door Blacky runs out then Conor sits on a chair.)

Mr Corlett: you idiot!

Scarlet: we will have to go and find her now!

Ms Corlett: (sighing) we should have brought the cage.
