First Prologue
Empty room, high windows and doors
The Good Woman right
Johanna enters from left with a table and places it by The Good Woman
The Good Woman
It's cold
Johanna moves the table still closer to The Good Woman and places herself behind her
The Good Woman
Heavens it's cold
Bring me the blanket
