Ethel, how about you? Do ye think ye’ll ever be wantin’ to move back? Rachel and I was just talkin’ the other day about what a loss it would be ter the community if you married a city feller and moved out; we were just wonderin’ if there were any on yer track.
Mrs. Benson
You don’t need to worry. One rich feller tried it and he didn’t get her.
Ethel
Mother, you shouldn’t tell my little secrets.
Floyd
I’m ready to go.
Begins leaving table.
