12 EXT. TOWN SQUARE - DAY 12
The group is growing impatient with Miss Belle Lake's windy
explanation.
ARTHUR GAULT
For goodness sake woman, get on with the
story.
MISS BELLE LAKE
I was just getting there, Arthur, keep
calm. When Josie saw Wm. F.
Drew of Pembroke, whom I had known
personally a long time, she began to
tremble and looked pale and frightened. I
asked her why she trembled. Josie said, I
will tell you if you will not divulge it.
I promised I would not but of course, in
a time like this there are exceptions and
I said can I not tell Sara Cochran? She
said no.
CLARENCE COFRAN
(addressing Miss Lake
impatiently)
Please, Miss Lake!!! What does this have
to do with Josie?
MISS BELLE LAKE
Anyways, Josie said: Don't tell any one,
for mother won't let me go across to
school. She said that one morning, as she
was going to the school and had got about
half way to the Academy, Drew stepped
suddenly in front of her and that she put
up her sunshade and hit him. I asked what
he said. Josie said it was too bad to
tell. Josie said that after she hit him,
he said: " By God I will be even with
you. I will chop your damned head off."
FADE TO BLACK.
