CHUANA What happened? Where is my husband?

BARBARA I want to go to father!

MRS. BURUMBA We are going to Cape Town to stay with my brother.

CHUANA What happened?

MRS. BURUMBA They are bringing your husband.

INDIO Why are they going to Cape Town?

CHUANA To stay with Barbara's uncle.

INDIO Barbara's father is dead isn't he?

CHUANA We don't know that.

INDIO She said I wanted him to die. But that's not true! And she said Pretoria ran away with an American.

CHUANA That was just a story, Indio. Little girls tell many stories. We don't know it's true.

INDIO Why did Pretoria want to go to English school?

CHUANA I sent her.
