[id: new scene, outdoors, day. wide shot of the small fenced-in front yard of maeve’s peasant hovel, with its well-trodden lawn and even more well-trodden dull brown paths and patches of soil. a small pink pig and three white chickens can be seen in the background next to the boundary fence. in the middle ground selena and janet stand just outside the front door of the stone cottage in their coarse homespun shifts, the former looking off into the distance to our left and the latter turning to look at maeve, who is in the foreground passing through the gate leading to the corral where the horses are tied. “well,” the peasant woman says over her shoulder, “i’m off ta market now, but i can take ye hard by mille house on me way.” /end]
