THE NURSERY MAID OF HEAVEN
A Miracle Play
By Thomas Wood Stevens
[Scene I: Atalanta, the novice, sits, rebellious and sullen, on the steps of the Mother Superior's daïs. From time to time nuns and novices pass across the stage to the left, on their way to the refectory. Sister Grimana, an old nun, comes down to Atalanta purposefully.]
Grimana. Sulking again, are you? Waiting for Sister Benvenuta, are you?
[Atalanta is silent.]
