Summarize The beach. In the background, a tent. Before her, sitting in his shadow, THE LADY and THE EMPLOYEE. THE LADY is in a bathing suit and, over it, wears a white toweling top that covers her hips. His complexion is toasted by a long summer. THE EMPLOYEE wears her white uniform. THE LADY is a thirty-year-old woman, with light hair, attractive but somewhat hard face. THE EMPLOYEE is twenty years old, white complexion, black hair, placid and pleasant face.
THE LADY: (Screaming at her little son, whom she does not see and who is supposed to be at the edge of the sea, right on the edge of the stage.) Alvarito! Alvarito! Do not throw sand at the little girl! Go to the water! She's rich ... Alvarito, no! Do not undo the castle to the little girl! Play with her ... Yes, my son ... play.
THE EMPLOYEE: She's so fierce ...
THE LADY: He went to the father ... It is useless to correct him. He has a dominant personality that comes from his father, his grandfather, his grandmother ... especially his grandmother!
THE EMPLOYEE: Will the knight come tomorrow?
THE LADY: (Shrugs with reluctance) I do not know! We are already in March, all my friends have returned and Álvaro has me still bored on the beach. He says he wants the child to take advantage of the holidays, but for me it is he who is taking advantage of it. (He takes off his smock and tends to sunbathe) Sun! Sun! Three months sunbathing I'm sun-poisoned.
