You musta noticed, Elly—a girl wuz here with that boy. They’d come here together—
Elly
W’at of it?
Butch
The horse and buggy’s up here a ways. She’s young, she’s purty— They drove here together. She’ll need some one to drive her home—through the woods—
Elly
Ugh! You beast!
Butch
(He goes toward the steps.) Mebbe I am one. Mebbe I am a beast. And this place we’re livin’ in—whut’s it? It’s the woods, Elly. It’s the dark woods. (He goes up the steps.)
