The Lady : You're wondering - aren't you? I had a better home than this - once. In Arkansas - my father was a wealthy planter. I know it is hard to believe - after this - But it's true. Father was a minister, too - and a very strict christian. I wonder if you know what I mean when I say 'very strict'?
Frank Jennings : I think I know - Adam and Eve - Jonah and the whale - clear through, from soda to hock - and very word gospel.
The Lady : Yes, but Father was not a hypocrite - he really believed. My husband was overseer on our place at that time, and although father valued him in that capacity, he - well - he forbade my meeting him on any terms of familiarity.

The Lady : I feel terribly embarrassed - I like to have you gentlemen here - but - with my husband's in town and may be talking - I - I am nervous.
Frank Jennings : Well ma'am we don't want to fret you.
