MRS.BOATWRIGHT
There's nothin' to be sorry about, 
David -- where's your mother?

REBECCA
Right here, Miss Boatwright.

Rebecca is standing in the doorway of the shed --  Mrs. Boatwright doesn't quite know how to begin -- the two women just look to each other for awhile - then --

MRS.BOATWRIGHT
The camp Nathan is at is called Wishbone Labor Camp. It's in Nolan town!

Rebecca lets the news soak in for a moment - David Lee has a big smile on his face. Rebecca moves from the doorway and stands directly before Mrs.Boatwright.

REBECCA
Miss Boatwright --you shore is a crazy actin' woman sometime!

She bursts out laughing and kicks up her leg --  David picks up the laughing, then Mrs.Boatwright. Earl and Josie Mae arrive and stop at the corner of the house -- can't quite make out what this crazy laughing is all about but they move to the center of the yard with them and join in with the laughing. After a short while the laughter comes to a sudden stop -- sudden, absolute silence --

JOSIE MAE
Mama, what was we laughin' for?

REBECCA
At the way you ask funny questions, Josie Mae!

REBECCA
Trouble, Miss Boatwright?
