The R. F. D.
[As they disappear]: Good-bye, ma’am.
Amy
Good-bye. See you later. [Awkward silence.] I ain’t sorry they went. I think they ought to have done it sooner and left us to get acquainted. They got me all fussed up staring that way. I just couldn’t think of what to say next. A girl gets kind of fussed, coming off like this to marry a man she ain’t never seen. I was a mile up in the air. I—I guess I must have sounded kind of fresh. I wouldn’t want you to think I was fresh.
Joe
I didn’t.
Amy
I’m glad you didn’t. You know, I like it up here already. You got it fixed up so cute and—[She discovers the cake.] and that. . . . It was awful nice of you to think of that. And the view! Is them all vines?
Joe
Yeah. . . .
[An awkward pause.]
