ACT 2 SCENE 4

• Alma and Bassett are talking in the park. My mind goes, "Oh no, THAT woman is here. Something bad is about to happen." But at least Alma is back outdoors again.


• Nellie comes and talks to Alma. General catching up sort of talk. Alma is also surprised at how much Nellie has seemed to change. Nellie briefly mentions that John has missed her-been her by her icyness with him. (So now we find that it was Alma who refused to see John.)


• Also Nellie and John are sort of..together now. They wrapped Christmas presents together. Apparently John had spoken well of Alma, saying she was his inspiration to become the better person he now is. (And that person is with NELLIE? Why not be with Alma? :(((( )


• Alma runs away from all of this and before Nellie can give her some news she runs off. She really can't bear to hear about John. And especially not John and another woman. Nellie? Her student? WHY?
