Involvement[edit | edit source]
Act Three[edit | edit source]
Dwindling and his father Dholber Greene are refugees speaking to the hostel's mistress, Pammella Nortale, in the hall of the establishment.
The family lost their mother, and the father does not know how to properly care for Dwindling. The hostel mistress is ready to shelter both, but first wants them to get rid of the lice which the boy has caught on the way to the city.
Idle banter[edit | edit source]
- Hostel Mother Pammella Nortale
- Rules are the same for everyone: clothes go in the fire, comb goes through the hair. We'll have no lice in here.
- Dholber Greene
- Burn my son's clothes? But I've nothing else for him to wear.
- Hostel Mother Pammella Nortale
- We've plenty of donations. I'm sure you'll find something that fits.
- Hostel Mother Pammella Nortale
- No need to look so glum. You'll be clean and comfortable in no time.
- Dholber Greene
- I'm so embarrassed. I - I'm sorry. We must have caught them riding on the ox cart.
- Hostel Mother Pammella Nortale
- No sense apologising for what can't be helped. You made it here safely - that's what matters.
- Dwindling
- Dad - my head's itchy.
- Hostel Mother Pammella Nortale
- Hot soapy water and a fine-tooth comb - that's all you need. Those lice will be gone in no time.
- Dholber Greene
- His mother was better with this kind of thing... I'll do my best.
