SUSANNA: (looking at the photo) This is him? Sooo handsome! I know
you must miss him a lot. (pause, handing the photo back) I
guess we all have our secret pain, don't we?
MRS. SHEPHERD:
You're young. What do you know of pain?
SUSANNA: Oh, I suppose I don't know much yet. Believe me, I'm
learning more every day. But I'm trusting God that
whatever pain lies ahead, He'll carry me through it.
MRS. SHEPHERD:
(cynically) Sounds like you've got some kind of faith.
SUSANNA:
That's all I have.
(During this song, Susanna puts the coffee pot away. She leans
against the counter again to rest, then serves other customers
while she sings. The customers continue eating as if the two
women were not singing.)
