The Clark Sisters
- One officer notices Delphine and her sisters nearby.
- Cecile quickly denies they're her kids, saying she doesn't have kids and these are the Clark girls from down the street.
- There's something different about denying her children this time, though.
- Delphine picks up on that and continues the rouse, making sure her sisters also know that they are, for the moment at least, Vonetta and Fern Clark.
- Delphine can't understand why Cecile is being arrested—she just writes poems after all, and peaceful poems at that. It's not like she's hurting anybody.
- Once they're past the police, Delphine explains the whole "we're not her kids" charade to her sisters.
- They take a turn around that block and return to the house.
- There's not much wrong except in the kitchen, where paper is strewn about, ink is smeared on the floor, and the printing press letters are scattered all over the place.
- Sure, this might sound like your bedroom, but this pigsty is a lot more political.
- The girls place a tablecloth on the floor and get to eating dinner.
- Delphine decides to clean up the kitchen so it looks right for Cecile when she gets home.
- Though no one knows when—or if—she'll be coming home.
