Nuthin’ a-tall. They uz nice folks. (Trying to reassure her.) Funny place t’ be a-livin’ in though—buried under the ground, like. Looks like it ud be damp s’ close to the lake. But they uz nice folks. Nice womern. The man uz all right. Kind of a lumberin’ kinda man—’thout no talk—but kindhearted. Didden he loan us the boat?
Betty
Yes—
Lloyd
Didden he give us the oars? Shore he did! Well?—
Betty
Le’s go on the lake now, Lloyd—
Lloyd
Shore! We’ll go, all right. I said we’d go. (He goes toward her. She gets in the boat. A burst of song and laughter comes from the picnickers some distance away. He raises his head.) Betty, listen! They’re gettin’ breakfast ready, I guess.
