act 2 scene 1 (annelle)

Question 1

My artistic nature is relieved

You’ll just make fun.

Question 12

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of a Camp Crossroads…

Answer 12

It’s in the middle of Arkansas. It’s a Christian camp. There’s just cabins, a chapel, a dining hall in the middle of the mountains with a lake. I will spend a week in Bible study, prayer, and meditation. You’re in the middle of nature surrounded by the beauty of the lord.

Question 13

Is your boyfriend going with you?

Answer 13

No. He said he’d rather eat dirt.

Oh, that’s all right, Truvy. I love Miss Ouiser. I pray for her everyday… sometimes twice.

We could have done something.

Do I look fabulous or what?

Answer 31

God bless you, Shelby.
