COUNTY ATTORNEY. Let's talk about that later, Mr. Hale. I do want to talk about that, but tell now just
what happened when you got to the house.
HALE. I didn't hear or see anything; I knocked at the door, and still it was all quiet inside. I knew they
must be up, it was past eight o'clock. So I knocked again, and I thought I heard somebody say, "Come in."
I wasn't sure, I'm not sure yet, but I opened the door—this door (indicating the door by which the two
women are still standing), and there in that rocker—(pointing to it) sat Mrs. Wright. (They all look at the
rocker.)
What would be one advantage of watching this scene as opposed to reading it?
The audience would not have to infer the characters' moods, which could make the characters seem
more genuine.
The audience would actually see what the characters look like, which could alleviate unnecessary
mystery.
The audience would not have to interpret the setting, - correct answer ✔✔The audience would actually

COUNTY ATTORNEY (as one turning from serious things to little pleasantries). Well, ladies, have you

COUNTY ATTORNEY. Well, that's interesting, I'm sure. (Seeing the birdcage.) Has the bird flown?
MRS. HALE (putting more quilt pieces over the box.) We think the--cat got it.
