            (Enter the two gray-heads, GEORGETTE and GRACE, followed by 

            COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE.  The COUNTESS is taking snuff.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE

Do you get the idea . . . that we were put in this group . . . because we’re---snort!---infirm?

GRACE

Speak for---

GEORGETTE

            (Simultaneously)

I don’t like “infirm.”

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE

We’ve got a couple centuries among us---

GRACE

            (To GEORGETTE)

What’s with her?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE

Do you mind if I sit?

GEORGETTE

We’re supposed to . . .  What are we doing, Grace?

GRACE

That bossy one said, “Go!”  Search for men, I guess.

            (They cock their heads as if to pick up sounds.)

GEORGETTE

Is that men up ahead?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE

Can either of you hear men?

            (Stares.)
