JIM. [To JOE.] Hello. [EM'LY goes to him; he puts his arm about her.] How long you been here?
EM'LY. All day.
JIM. What?
JOE goes to the shelf at back and fills his pipe.
EM'LY. So's Sam.
SAM. Mrs. Vernon made us stay to dinner. Then supper.
JOE. Sam didn't feel like seeing the town folks.
JIM. Why?
SAM. Well, I didn't know how they'd feel about it.
JIM. What, think you did do it?
