Annie enters from the kitchen, dabbled with dye. She holds two colored eggs in her hands.
Annie.
Look! I've colored two.
Martha.

Annie.

Beeler.

Annie, her eggs in her apron, opens the hall door. About to pass out, she stops, drops the eggs with a scream, and runs back, gazing towards the hall as she takes refuge behind Rhoda's skirts.
