66 INT. COTTAGE. BATHROOM. DAY.<br />
66<br />
In the chaotic bathroom, MARJORIE’S head is lowered over the<br />
hand basin while FLORENCE washes her hair.<br />
67 INT. COTTAGE. KITCHEN. DAY.<br />
67<br />
The kitchen is in order. The FIVE are seated around a small pine<br />
table as FLORENCE brings the stew (rather thin, mostly carrots<br />
and potatoes) from the stove. FLORENCE is about to pick up a<br />
ladle but EDWARD’S restraining hand closes over hers.<br />
MARJORIE (in fresh clothes, brushed hair) takes up the ladle and<br />
sets about doling out the stew. She addresses her remarks to<br />
FLORENCE.<br />
MARJORIE<br />
I’m so glad you’re here, my dear. I’ve<br />
been wanting to try this out. An old<br />
gypsy recipe. Rabbit stewed in plums.<br />
All day on a low heat.<br />
Before FLORENCE can reply, EDWARD cuts in.<br />
EDWARD<br />
Our mum’s a very good cook.<br />
FLORENCE<br />
It smells delicious.<br />
MARJORIE<br />
D’you have children of your own, dear?<br />
Not yet.<br />
FLORENCE<br />
MARJORIE<br />
People romanticise, but it’s awfully<br />
hard work. I make all our own jam,<br />
marmalade, chutney. Shopping, laundry,<br />
cleaning - it never stops.<br />
LIONEL<br />
And you do a wonderful job, Marjorie.<br />
EDWARD and the TWINS murmur their agreement. MARJORIE pauses.<br />
Her smile is of dreamy contentment.
