(The stage goes black. The crowd is dispersing slowly. Angry voices are heard. The curtain is descending slowly. Off-stage right the voice of Lum is heard calling Daisy.)
LUM
Oh Daisy! Daisy!
DAISY (at a distance) What you want, Lum?
LUM Tell yo' mama to put on de hot water kittle. I'll be round there before long.
