mother (spoken):
yes?

coalhouse (spoken):
i’m looking for a woman of color whose name is sarah. she is said to reside in one of these houses

little boy (spoken):
she’s here. she’s living in our attic

coalhouse (spoken):
will you tell her, please, that mr. coalhouse walker jr. desires to speak with her?

mother (spoken):
certainly. please wait here

little boy (spoken):
this is sarah’s baby. you want a cookie?

mother (spoken):
sarah, you have a caller. a mr. walker. will you come down to the kitchen?

sarah (spoken):
no, ma’am. send him away, please

mother (spoken):
well, that’s the most words you’ve spoken since you’ve been here

mother (spoken):
sarah is unable to see you. good day

coalhouse (spoken):
thank you, ma’am. tell her i’ll come back next sunday

grandfather (spoken):
such was the coming of the colored man in the car to broadview avenue

all:
each sunday, he’d come driving
curtains would part
neighbors would peek

mother (spoken):
i’m sorry, mr. walker. sarah still will not receive you

coalhouse (spoken):
will you see that she gets these flowers, ma’am?

all:
week after week
and after weeks of sundays

mother:
sending him off seemed a crime

mother (spoken):
mr. walker, it must be a long drive for you. perhaps you would like a cup of tea before you go?

coalhouse (spoken):
this piano is badly in need of a tuning

mother (spoken):
oh yes. we are terrible about that

grandfather (spoken):
do you know any coon songs?

coalhouse (spoken):
coon songs are made for minstrel shows. white men sing them in blackface. this is called ragtime
