Text

Start: Mother: The author is awake, I see. They live their lives very differently in the big city! Old as I am, I’ve already been to church and done a full day’s wash. Sleepin’ ‘til ten! (Barrie picks up sheet from the clothes basket) Here, and what do you think you’re doing?
Barrie: I’ve come down to help.

[... …]

End: Mother: Ye promise. Ye swear?
Barrie: Of course I do.
Mother: Hmmph! A lot that means. You’ll break my heart.
Barrie: It seems to me, Mother, I already have.
