CURTAIN.
ACT II
A month later. The shop as Act I. It is about mid-day. ALICE is in MAGGIE'S chair at the desk, some ledgers in front of her, and VICKEY is reading behind the counter. The trap is open and TUBBY stands near the desk by ALICE.
ALICE. I'm sure I don't know what to tell you to do, Tubby.
TUBBY. There's nothing in at all to start on, Miss Alice. We're worked up.
ALICE. Well, father's out and I can't help you.
TUBBY. He'll play old Harry if he comes in and finds us doing nowt in the workroom.
VICKEY. Then do something. We're not stopping you. (Rises and moves over to R.)
