SCENE SEVEN
Scene—Sixteen years later. A small, tumble-down house on a bare, unenclosed plot of ground. Before the house is a tiny garden enclosed by a hip-high hedge.
At back a wooden fence crosses the stage; in the center of it is a door large enough to admit a wagon. Beyond the fence is a view of a suburban street which blends into a broad vista of tilled fields.
It is a bright Sunday in Spring.
In the garden a table for two is laid.
Julie, her daughter Louise, Wolf and Marie are discovered in the garden. Wolf is prosperously dressed, Marie somewhat elaborately, with a huge hat.
Julie
You could stay for lunch.
Marie
Impossible, dear. Since he became the proprietor of the Café Sorrento, Wolf simply has to be there all the time.
