LETITIA
Yes, Susan is going to be in a pageant.
SUSAN
Who was Emily?
NATHANIEL
She was—
LETITIA
Nathaniel dear, you must not satisfy her curiosity.
(To Susan)
You go find Jonathan, dear, and tell him that his uncle is here.
(To Nathaniel)
I'll put these things away, and we'll go into the house.
SUSAN (reluctantly)
Good-bye, Mr. Clay.
NATHANIEL
Good-bye, Susan. You'll come back, won't you?
SUSAN
Oh, yes. Good-bye.
NATHANIEL
Good-bye.
[Susan goes out.
LETITIA
She hates to go. She's never seen anyone just like you: and I have only seen one.
NATHANIEL
Who's Jonathan?
LETITIA
He's the one.... He's Emily's boy.
NATHANIEL
You mean Emily—
LETITIA
No, no, my dear. Emily was married, left the stage. She wasn't happy. The boy was her only comfort.
NATHANIEL
He's my nephew. Why, I'm Uncle Nathaniel. Oh, Aunt Letty, I'm getting to be an old man!
LETITIA
Nathaniel, Jonathan doesn't know about his mother. I sent Susan away because I didn't want her to associate these things with Jonathan's mother.
NATHANIEL
My God, Emily didn't do anything wrong.
LETITIA
Well, she was an actress.
NATHANIEL
And a good one, too.
LETITIA
Yes, yes, dear. All that has been talked over many times, but John is the head of the family and he doesn't approve of the stage.
NATHANIEL
So! John is still himself.
LETITIA
John is austere, Nathaniel. He is a Clay through and through and he holds to the traditions of the family.
NATHANIEL
I remember the traditions, Aunt Letitia.
LETITIA
Yes, Susan is going to be in a pageant.
