(The upper deck of the "Cotton Blossom," Later that night. It is moonlight, just after the storm clouds have broken. RAVENAL stands near a water barrel. He looks about, anxiously awaiting MAGNOLIA. He blows on his fingers, and moves about a little to take off the chill that is characteristic of southern nights. He hears a noise. He peers into the darkness and calls eagerly off L.:) RAVENAL That you, Nola? WINDY (off stage) Nope - it's me. RAVENAL (quickly filling dipper from water barrel to carry on the illusion that he came out here to get a drink) Hello, Windy - WINDY (entering) Come over to take a look at the moorings - (He crosses RAVENAL) Kind o' cool for you to be stayin' out on deck, ain't it? RAVENAL (just finishing drink) Er - no - not at all - I'm very thirsty, that's all. (He fills the dipper again to prove it. WINDY exits, chuckling. RAVENAL pours the balance of the dipper's contents into the fire bucket. He hears a whistle off stage) That you, Nola? (MAGNOLIA enters. She carries a porcelain water pitcher. He flings the dipper away and rushes to her impetuously. He embraces her) How did you get away? MAGNOLIA I can't stay long - I told Mother I'd fill her pitcher - She's waiting - RAVENAL (speaking rapidly, excitedly, impulsive) Nola - we haven't much time - listen, I want to marry you - in Natchez tomorrow. MAGNOLIA But Mother - RAVENAL She's going to be in Fayette all morning - she told me so herself - there's a lovely little church in Natchez - MAGNOLIA But Father - what will he say?
