The Little Colonel1935

Col. Lloyd:
Maria, I've got a young lady here whose clothes need drying.

Maria:
Yes, sir?

Col. Lloyd:
Well, take her!

Maria:
But Colonel sir, what can I put her in while her clothes is a-dryin'? I ain't got nothin' for a little girl to wear.

Col. Lloyd:
Uh, Walker, go up into the attic, and you'll find a small trunk. There may be some clothes in there that will fit Miss Lloyd.

Walker:
A small trunk in the attic, sir?

Col. Lloyd:
Yes, you numbskull! Don't you understand English? Attend to it right away. [the Colonel leaves]

Walker:
Do you know whose trunk that is and whose clothes they is?

Maria:
Course I do. You go on now and fetch them things. We don't want no menfolk 'round here.

Walker:
With that face, you don't have to worry!
