They stop, not knowing what to do. The local SUITORS notice the BROTHERS and begin to bristle at the invasion of their territory.

DORCAS (breathless) Don't recall ever seeing those men before. LIZA (wide-eyed) They're strangers to me. RUTH (ecstatic) Six of them! MARTHA And all as tall as church steeples!
