Excerpt from Spriggins' 'Quiet' Afternoon: A Rural Play in One Act Scene - Sitting room in farmer Spriggin's home. Couch, chairs, table, etc. (Enter John Spriggins, throwing hat on table and dropping into chair.) Spriggins - There, by George, harvesting is done for another year and this afternoon I'm goin' to do what I ain't had a minute's chance to do for the past two months - take a rest. Gettin' up at daylight and pegging away at top speed until nine o'clock at night day in and day out ain't exactly what one might call a vacation. (Enter Mrs. Spriggins.) Mrs. Spriggins - Well, I declare, John, it does seem strange enough to see you sitting down in here doin' nothin', after the way you've been hustling around for the past two months. Spriggins - I'll bet it does and I made up my mind that I'm goin' to take a rest this afternoon just to see how it seems once more. Where are them slippers of mine? Mrs. Spriggins - Right here, John. I'll get them for you. (Gets slippers from corner and brings them to Spriggens, who removes boots and puts on slippers.) Sprig. - There! Now I hope I won't be bothered for I feel clean tuckered out. (Opens paper, puts feet out a chair and begins to read.) (Knock heard outside.) Mrs. Sprig. - For the lands sake! I wonder who that is. Sprig. - Don't know. Nobody that wants anything of me, I hope. Mrs. Sprig. - Come in! (Enter Sam Smalley.) Smalley - Howdy Mrs. Spriggins. Hello, John, playing gentleman this afternoon, eh!
