SCENE 1
1 [Early afternoon in spring 1903. A dozen women are seated in a well-furnished living room. They have just finished tea and cookies.]
2 BELLE: [leaning over to whisper to EMMALINE] I don’t see Betty yet. Do you suppose she is just late?
3 EMMALINE: [also speaking in low tones] My dear, I do believe that Betty came mainly because of Mildred’s encouragement. Now that Mildred has left the group, I wouldn’t be surprised if Betty stopped attending as well.
4 BELLE: [disappointed] It’s just that we need every member we can get. I hope we don’t lose anyone else.
