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.
(Exit Mrs. Burumba and Barbara)
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.
