Act I : Breakfast table

****

Scene 1:

Sitting on a chair, Hazel pulled the table which had bread and wheat pancakes, she spread honey and put dates on her plate and was about to eat.

*Knock knock*

Hazel - Who is it?

Georgio - I am Georgio.

Hazel - Georgio?

Georgio - Miss Hazel I work for your father Sir Augustus.

(Hazel starts walking towards the door and opens it)

Georgio - Sir Augustus has asked me to deliver this fresh bread.

Hazel - Gratitude Georgio, I was about to have my breakfast I won't mind if you join me.

Georgio - It would be an honor to share the same table as you Miss Hazel but I am just a worker.

Hazel - There's no place for difference among people when in front of the food Georgio

Georgio - Miss Hazel thank you for the kindness and generosity but I am not allowed to share a meal with you.

Hazel - That would disappoint me and make me feel unhappy, all these days I had my breakfast alone I am only asking for little company.

Georgio - Well Miss Hazel I could sit right here on the floor and eat but I am not allowed to share your table

Hazel - Who hath put these rules?

Georgio - Someone who might be a piece of Good Lord miss Hazel.

Hazel - Good Lord? Lord wouldn't encourage such type of beliefs, I suppose. Well feel yourself home.

Georgio - Miss Hazel you have such a kind heart just like your father.

Hazel - Saying it shows how good a heart you have.

(Hazel cuts the fresh bread and spreads some honey on the pancakes and offers it to Georgio)

(Georgio looks at the dates and dribbles a little but deviates his sight towards something else when Hazel looks at him)

Hazel - The dates are fresh and I want you to have some

Georgio - I apologise Miss Hazel it's been months since I had those dates, it might be my thoughts counterfeiting.

(Hazel hands him over the plate along with the dates)

(Georgio looks at her face overjoyed and excited)

Hazel cuts the bread, spreads honey on the pancakes and sits on the floor right in front of Georgio.
