The action takes place in the funeral service of DR. RANK.
Two years later…
SCENE---A courtyard that grazes a walkway not to be effective, but noticeable. The skies seemingly smooth but gloomy, forwards the crowd to the inner intermission. HELMER’s children and he step into the funeral service. At the entrance greets an usher. At the corridor stand bouquets of red. At front sight, a casket of glorious augmentation by decoration is displayed. The PRIEST stands in wait for all guests to be acquainted and rested for the proper ceremonies. In front of him begins two sections of seating’s, each section with 9 rows back each able to fit 13 people. Wide rows of wooden amber benches dressed in efflorescence. At the front, the audience notices a slight charring. It was the season of spring.
A crowd gathers at the front and coerces attention from the crowd. Families and friends become seating in specifically reserved seating arrangements. HELMER and the children take a seat in row three on the far right end of the congregation. He is dressed in the very most of formal attire and carries a red rose. The children correspond also in formal attire for the ceremony. Enter NORA, into the room and is seated at the far left side of the alcove of row one.
HEL. [To the children.] Quiet down now, it is time. Be sure to stay seated and mannered young ones. [To neighboring guests.] Excuse us.
HEL.’s [To HELMER in anguish.] You said we would see mother. When will it be?
HEL. Shortly children.
PRIEST. [Approaches a pedestal and opens the Holy Scriptures.] Before we begin, let us commune and bow our heads for a calming of the mind. [The entire audience joins the priest as he begins a prayer of quiescent. Assortments of candles are then lit as the season rain became severe and took out remaining power.]
HEL’s. [Rising and interrupting the ceremony by attracting much unneeded attention.] Mommy!
