Sound of voices: "Whoa, boy!
whoa there!" Cupid runs off (Right), the others start
to the gate.
[Enter (Right) by the road, George Stuart, Carter Hillary and
Gordon Cabell. George is a handsome young man of about
twenty three or four; tall, well built, and with a gay,
cheerful manner. He rushes into his mother's arms; she
holds him for a long embrace, while Fair and Bev clamor
for their turn. Carter Hillary is a young fellow of about
twenty-one, Charlotte's brother, somewhat smaller though
much like George in manner. He rushes to Charlotte, who
throws her arms around his neck. Gordon Cabell is a boy
of some twenty-five years, with a quiet, serious way about
him. He stands slightly at the back during the meeting of
the others. He then comes forward and greets all the people
in the scene, not forgetting the negroes. All three wear
Confederate uniforms of different rank, and all are very
dirty and much spattered with old mud stains. During
the following scene the sunlight begins to fade and the
twilight to gather.
