The Boy rises and as he does so the cloak falls about him until, when he steps out of the curtains, he discloses trousers and shoes.

BOY

I can't go through the hall looking like this.

SHE

You must.

HE (turning)

Go away, Bob. Your sister is very nervous.

[He sees the boy fairly well clothed. He gasps.

HE

Why—

SHE

Bob—

[Turning she sees the boy fairly well clothed.

I thought—How did you—Why didn't you—What were you doing in there?

BOY

Father was going to get strict and keep me off the water tonight and just as I came down here to get my sweater I heard him coming to the coat room so I jumped behind the curtains and let him pass and then Joe and Ethel came in and I couldn't let them see me this way. And then somebody else came and then you came in—well, I got cold.

HE (looking out)

Run on now, Bob, the hall is clear.

[Boy starts.

BOY

What was it you did, Sis?

SHE

I didn't do it.

BOY

Why didn't you do it?

SHE

I didn't do anything.

BOY

He said Joe squeezed your hand.

SHE

Absurd!

BOY

Well, I hope not, because he and Ethel got engaged in here too!

[He and She look fondly at each other and He murmurs, "Genevieve" as he reaches out for her.

The Boy begins to sing, "Oh, Genevieve, Sweet Genevieve," and they become aware of him, turning upon him and pursuing him with a warning cry of "Bob."
