Stuff a handkerchief between your teeth! There ain't nothin'! Why d'you take on so?
WALBURGA
[With chattering teeth, making every effort to suppress her sobs.] I'm frightened! Oh, I'm frightened to death, Mrs. John!
MRS. JOHN
I'd like to know what you're so scared about!
WALBURGA
Why, didn't you see that horrible man?
MRS. JOHN
That ain't nothin' so horrible. That's my brother what sometimes helps me clean up your pa's things here.
