OUR TOWN MRS. GIBBS: Emily. EMILY: Hello. With surprise. It's raining. tier eyes drift back to the funeral company. MRS. GIBBS: Yes . . . They'll be gone soon, dear. Just rest yourself. EMILY: It seems thousands and thousands of years since I ... Papa remembered that that was my favorite hymn. Oh, I wish I'd been here a long time. I don't like being new here. How do you do, Mr. Stimson? SIMON STIMSON: How do you do, Emily. EMILY continues to look about her with a wondering EMILY: smile; as though to shut out from her mind the thought of the funeral company she starts speaking to Mrs. Gibbs with a touch of nervousness. Mother Gibbs, George and I have made that farm into just the best place you ever saw. We thought of you all the time. We wanted to show you the new barn and a great long ce-ment drinking fountain for the stock. We bought that out of the money you left us. MRS. GIBBS: I did? 88
EMILY: ACT THREE Don't you remember, Mother Gibbs the legacy you left us? Why, it was over three hundred and fifty dollars. MRS. GIBBS: Yes, yes, Emily. EMILY: Well, there's a patent device on the drinking fountain so that it never overflows, Mother Gibbs, and it never sinks below a certain mark they have there. It's fine. Her voice trails off and her eyes return to the funeral group. It won't be the same to George without me, but it's a lovely farm. Suddenly she looks directly Live people don't understand, do they? MRS. GIBBS: No, dear EMILY: not very much. at Mrs. Gibbs. They're sort of shut up in little boxes, aren't they? I feel as though I knew them last a thousand years ago . . . My boy is spending the at day Mrs. Carter's. She sees MR. CARTER among the dead. Oh, Mr. Carter, my little boy is spending the day at your house. MR. CARTER: Is he? EMILY: Yes, he loves it there. Mother Gibbs, we have a Ford, too. Never gives any trouble. I don't drive, though. Mother Gibbs, when does this feeling go away? Of being . . . one of them? How long does it . . . ? 89
