Then

ELINOR RADLEY (Continued)
Once
there was a vile entrepreneur named Boo Radley.
He wanted a son. But he
had a daughter, Elinor. And that was me.(Tears in her eyes)
Do you understand now?
GRACE
(Rising to her feet, moved to confess)I used to think I wanted to be a man!
(To those around her)
They become men now, you know---
GEORGETTE
That’s
a different thing---
GRACE
I don’t know. But, if I could have, would
I have?
GEORGETTE
No.
GRACE
I
can’t be sure, Georgette. I just can’t
be sure.(ELINOR RADLEY is glaring vilely.)
ELINOR
RADLEY

(Whispering to the COUNTESS)I feel a dance coming on . . .
(COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE has fallen asleep.)
