MAY and Other Girls, (curtsey) Good morning, Grandma Gregg.
GRANDMA. Good morning, my dears. And now we are all here, have you all done your home work? Let me see it. (the girls advance, by ones or twos and show their sewing)
GRANDMA. Very good—The stitches are a little too large, sweetheart— This buttonhole might be a little neater, precious, etc. (girls take seats again, and sew)
GRANDMA. Grace, will you act as monitor of the teapot?
GRACE. Yes, Grandma Gregg. (curtseys, and makes tea)
GRANDMA. Now, young ladies, will you repeat the Golden Text for the day?
ALL. "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
SUSAN. (scornfully and aside) Yes, feed the beast and he'll grin.
GRANDMA. Kate, do you know your precept?
KATE. (curtseys)
