Act 1; Scene 6

• The scene opens with Alma rushing around, getting ready for her date with John.
  
• Alma remains mysterious to her parents about who she is going out with.
• Eventually she admits to her caller being John Buchanan.
  
• Alma doubts that John will actually show up.
  
• Alma does not allow her father to receive John when he comes. Mr. Winemiller tells Alma he will stare at John until he leaves.
  
• Alma fools her father and says she is going down to the drugstore to get ice cream for her mother. She uses this excuse to escape the house to go to John.
  
• This scene was short and simple-a nice introduction to what's to come. I wonder where John will take Alma. I hope everything goes well. She certainly seems excited! I really like this play.
