Child-Ptolemy comes in through the front door unseen. He looks toward someone behind him and urges them forward. PITY Come on in. She don’t bite. Little MAUDE PETIT (very dark-skinned girl, five years old) comes in tentatively. PITY (CONT'D) Mama. With all the clanking, stirring and humming Iona doesn’t hear her son. PITY (CONT'D) Mama!... Mama! Iona hears the calls and turns to see her beloved son. IONA Yeah, baby? Who’s your little friend? Urging Maude on Ptolemy says: PITY Go on. Tell her. MAUDE I’m, uh, I’m Maude. Smiling, Iona says: IONA I know who you are . Lana Petit’s * little girl. PITY
Her mama been gone three days an’ Maude don’t have nuthin’ t’eat.
Iona understands.
IONA Come on in, baby. Take a chair at the table.
Nervously Maude moves toward the table. REGGIE (PRELAP) Papa Grey! (knocking) You okay!
