SADIE

You’re the oldest of her children, a body would think you’d be ashamed.

HENRY

Oh, I’ll stay.

[There is a silence. Orin sniffs. Ella glares at him.

ELLA

Of course he could sit somewheres else.

[Sadie puts her arm about Orin and looks spitefully at Ella. Doctor Curtis, an elderly country physician, comes down the stairs and enters the room, all turn to look at him.

DOCTOR

No change at all. I’m sendin’ Jane to the drug store.
