'\ Scene 2 — Enter Georgie and Noyes. Simms exits, fol- lowed presently by Jinny. The next important fact S72 WRITING AND SELLING A PLAY conveyed by the dialogue is that Jinny has been in Morrow's family since the days of Phil's grand- father. We learn that Noyes is Phil's cousin. Their grandfathers had quarreled about a mulatto woman in the '40's. [This fact is the most impor- tant " exposition " so far, as on this dead mulatto slave hangs the later development. Note how this fact is planted h...ere and its frequent recurrence in later dialogue. ] Noyes has been searching in Mor- row's attic for some family papers which will en- able him to join the Sons of the Revolution. His manner and one or two sentences convey to the audience that he has found something else. [Here is an example of one way of conveying a dramatic undercurrent. He tells Georgie nothing, and does not arouse her suspicions. The information is subtly carried solely to the audience. ] Georgie mentions Mamie Willis. [This is to give us a living picture of a girl who never appears in the play, hut who plays a tragic part in later developments of the act.
