Act Two
Song: âBe Like The Kettle And Singâ
SCENE ONE
Next day. Wednesday afternoon.
They are cleaning up the fire damage, and more importantly water damage, with mops and buckets, brushes and cloths. Lines are strung across the room with donated clothes drying on them. Present are PEG, HILDA, PERCE, MAGGIE â with a bruise on her face â ROB, ALEC, LEONORE, and GRAN. ROB helps LEONORE move the piano so he can mop behind it. She smiles at him. He has a knack of making people feel at ease. Four evacuees, all wearing sooty face decoration, are playing cowboys and indians.
ROB: Is here okay? Careful, donât hurt your back. Let me do it. Ok?
LEONORE: Thank you.
ROB: It looks odd seeing it down here.
LEONORE: You donât mind?
ROB: Pianos donât mean anything if thereâs nobody playing them.
LEONORE: Thank goodness it is not burned.
PEG: Oh yes, thank goodness for that. As long as the Swanky Rodents can have their piano lessons everythingâs all right with the world.
ROB imitates her, sending her up. She grins.
Oh shut up.
Where do you want these putting Maggie?
MAGGIE: Are they wet?
PEG: Everything in the back roomâs wet.
MAGGIE: Hang them up with the rest. I suppose theyâll dry out eventually.
GRAN, knitting, starts to sing âHang Out The Washing On The Siegfried Lineâ.
PEG: The fire would have probably gone out in the snow but oh no, they had to hose fifty million gallons in here as well.
PERCE: (Up a stepladder fixing up drying lines.) Sorry.
PEG: Donât even start with sorry.
MAGGIE: Cocktails, I ask you.
PEG: What were you thinking?
PERCE: I wanted to impress her.
PEG: Who?
PERCE: Jean.
PEG: Dear God.
PERCE: Thought sheâd see me like a commando. You know...
He mimes Lighting the Molotov cocktail, throwing it and ducking.
Cover!
PEG: You idiot.
PERCE: I werenât aiming at the hall. That were an accident.
PEG: Youâre an accident.
PERCE: Iâve got a new idea now. For the concert party.
PEG: Is it flammable?
PERCE: I hope not.
PERCE checks his pockets. MAGGIE smiles, heâs told her about his magic tricks. Thereâs a crash off.
Peg: Oh my god. Sidney!
PEG exits to the back.
MAGGIE: (To the evacuees.) And you lot. Out of here. Come along, youâre not helping.
MAGGIE shoos the evacuees off. They run round her.
In the name ofâŠwhere the hell is Lorna Pepper when thereâs work to be done?
LEONORE: She said sheâd be here.
ROB gets onto his mop and rounds them up and, firing an imaginary gun, chases them out. He smiles over at MAGGIE. She smiles back but thereâs distance between them.
ALEC: I see war paint is in fashion for both cowboys and Indians.
ROB: Any excuse to get really filthy.
LEONORE: Mrs Pepper is putting on her boots when I leave the house.
MAGGIE: Well I wonât hold my breath. How does it sound? Has water got into it?
LEONORE: So you do care about it after all?
MAGGIE: Itâs the only heirloom Iâve got. Apart from Gran of course. Must count for something I suppose.
LEONORE: Well, of course. It belonged to your mother who loved it.
MAGGIE: Oh yes, she loved that piano all right. OK everyone, we need to keep this end clear for the soup and sandwiches. Thereâs still a war on and stomachsâll still rumble come dinnertime.
MAGGIE and LEONORE move tables together.
ALEC: Sheâs amazing, your Maggie, never stops.
ROB: Yeah Iâd noticed. Iâd quite like her to actually. Itâs not long before Iâm due back.
ALEC: I envy you.
ROB: What, me wife?
