THE LAKE

Scene 2

(A cleared place sloping down to the left, where the lake comes in in a little bay. The branches of old trees meet overhead. The lake glitters in the bright sunlight.

Plank and the Sheriff, with the pistol still in his hand, stand and shout off left.)

Sheriff

Come in, you! Put that boat in to shore!

Lloyd’s Voice

I won’t— I won’t—

Sheriff

I’m givin’ you one more chance!
