know?

DANIEL. Come, come, my little maid, 'tis early days for you to be
getting a lesson in courtship.

MAY. O there wasn't any courtship, Uncle, and I didn't hear nothing
at all to speak of.

ELIZABETH. There, run along quick and find your sister. Supper's
late already, and that it is.

ANNET. I'll go with her.

[She starts forward and hurriedly moves towards the door.

ELIZABETH. Stop a moment, Millie. What are you thinking of to go
trailing out in the dew with that beautiful cloak and bonnet. Take
and lay them in the box at once, do you hear?

DANIEL. That's it, Mill. 'Twouldn't do for to mess them up afore
the day. 'Twas a fair price as I gived for they, and that I can tell
you, my girl.

[ANNET stops irresolutely. MAY seizes her hand.

MAY. Come off, come off, "Cousin Millie"; 'tis not damp outside, and
O I'm afeared to cross the rickyard by myself.

[She pulls ANNET violently by the hand and draws her out of the door.
