Fluvanna, a warm hearted, self-sacrificing and

care of three children, is at lunch with them.
Hugh's wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous

Kezia goes out of her way to charm Jerry.
Fluvanna is concerned about Kezia, who is
evasive about dates she has been having at

She muses over the resemblance of
Kezia to her late husband, recalling liow tem

been.
She recalls the tragic picture of his
death— how after drinking and gambling to
