Miss A. (in hysterics) Oh—oh—oh—I've been frightened nearly to death. Oh, dear, oh!
Mrs. T. By whom?
Miss A. A tall colored man. He sat down on the sofa beside me. Oh, dear, I shall die, I know I shall. (Mrs. T. and Helen approach and try to quiet her. Daisy goes to D. C. and peers behind curtain)
Miss A. He was dressed in one of the Deacon's suits.
Mrs. T. In my brother's clothes? Impossible!
Miss A. He was, I tell you. He escaped out of the balcony window. (points to D. C.)
Daisy. Oh! (screaming, runs to group. All appear frightened, and scream)
Helen. Did you see him?
Daisy. No—but—I thought I did.
