Seth. Didn't she leave him twenty years ago?

Lon. Why, she ain't even expectin' it!

Seth. She'll never miss it if she don't git it.

Lon [shaking his head]. Me an' the kids packed up, ready t' move in.

[There is a silence. Lon deep in his disappointment, Seth making his brain work as it has never worked before. And he is rewarded for his diligence. A suggestion of his sneering smile comes to his face.]

Seth. Lon?

Lon. Yes?

Seth [looks about, making sure that only his brother is listening]. Yuh 'member what yuh done t' Rogers when he didn't leave yuh paint his bath-house?

Lon [his eyes open wide]. Burn it?

Seth. Sh!
