viii. Home Again.
The same scene. Children a couple of years older. (This may be effected by suppressing the youngest, and introducing a fresh eldest, as much like the others as possible.) The sailor of the last scene, slightly more tanned, and with a fuller, “made-up” beard, has apparently just entered. The wife has both arms round his neck, her face being hidden in his bosom. Of the children, the eldest has seized and is kissing her father’s hand, while the two younger each cling round one leg. Soft red light. Music, “A Lass that Loves a Sailor,” or “When Johnny comes Marching Home Again.”
