Would you call that black?
BEN (looks it over)
No—it ain’t black. (He searches and finds black thread) Maybe this is it!
JANE
Maybe it is! (She takes it) You were with that French family quite a while, weren’t you?
BEN
Most a month; they was well off, you know; I mean, they was, before the war. It was a nice house.
JANE (sewing)
How nice?
BEN (hesitates)
