All of the walls are covered with books, with the exception of one wall, a window. Tixie, a young and rather jiggly french maid, is polishing a glass. The music is much louder. Timmy enters and turns off the record player. The music stops. He speaks to the maid in a proper English accent. Timmy Is everything ready? She replies in a French accent. Tixie Oui, monsieur. Timmy You have your instructions? Tixie nods. Timmy exits. Tixie sniffs the air, and then examines the bottom of her shoes.
