DAVID LEE 
We brought your laundry, Miss Boatwright.

MRS. BOATWRIGHT
Come in, children. 

They enter the house, leaving Sounder in the backyard.
40. INT. MRS. BOATWRIGHT'S KITCHEN - DAY 40.

David and Earl stop in the middle of the floor, holding the basket.

MRS. BOATWRIGHT
Put it right up on this table, boys.

The two boys lift the basket up on the table. She looks through the clothes for a moment.

MRS. BOATWRIGHT (CONT'D)
You tell Rebecca ain't a Chinaman in all this world can beat her ironing.

She reaches into her pocket and pulls out some change, picks out some and passes it on to David. 

MRS. BOATWRIGHT (CONT'D)
This is for your mama's work, and here's something for the three of you. 

DAVID LEE
Thank you, Miss Boatwright.

JOSIE MAE & EARL 
Thank you, Miss Boatwright.

MRS. BOATWRIGHT
Oh, by the way, David, I have the book I promised you.

MRS. BOATWRIGHT
It's about the Three Musketeers.
