In this short scene, we are introduced to a young woman who has just returned from a trip to Europe. She is the daughter of a well-to-do Lithuanian family, and she has come to live in Budapest with her husband, who is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. The young woman, however, is not her father's daughter; she is the illegitimate daughter of an older man, who died when the young woman was a child. Her father is now dead, and her mother has been forced to take care of her. She tells us that she has been living in Budapest for the past two years, and that she is now in her mid-thirties. She has no idea what to do with herself, but she does know that she must return to her family in the country, where she will be reunited with her father.
