ACT ONE, SCENE TWO: BARCHY'S FARM

(The scene switches to the inside of Barchy’s Hilltop barn. There, we see Barchy’s other two, much younger nephews running around playing with a ball. Following them, laughing, is the human Barchy. Thomas is notably unpresent, indicating that his plowman’s work has not yet been completed yet. Happily, the other two nephews bounce around, awaiting their cousin. In the background of the barn there is also a shed, which contains a Barchetta car.)

NEPHEW #1

NEPHEW #2

BARCHY
