Enter Vance, D. F.
Vance. Good morning, Mrs. Rogers!
Mrs. R. Good morning, Mr. Vance! I am so glad to see you. I am so weary of seein’ nobody but strangers an’ niggers day after day.
Vance. I’m very sorry then that I have come to announce my immediate departure.
Mrs. R. So ye’re goin’ to leave us?
Vance. (Sadly.) Yes, I’m sorry, but I—I have changed my plans.
Mrs. R. Purty sudden, aint it?
Vance. Rather! Well, you see, Mrs. Rogers, I’m a nervous, restless sort of chap. Always was, you know.
Rog. Pard, come back to the mountains with us.
