POLICEMAN

(The setting of this playlet is the normal arrangement of a rich-looking parlour. MRS. VOLTA, a woman of middle age, is seen sitting on an expensive armchair. She is richly endowed in an expensive and colourful bubu with scarf to match. She is sickly, but the illness is not visible. She carries herself with gentle ease, for she is in a tender, delicate condition. Her youngest son, SMADA, who is at the prime of his young adulthood, is seen standing, leaning lightly against the small dining table, wearing a white shirt unbuttoned at the collar, black trousers and a black belt and expensive black boots, and a dark-grey dinner jacket. His elderly sisters, NEERI and DANGE, are seen sitting on the small expensive settee. The former is dressed in a cream-coloured lady-like trouser suit, while the latter is clothed in a black designer T-shirt, blue skimpy Jeans shorts and designer platform shoes. The atmosphere is somewhat tense with everyone expectant and anxious. Smada walks to the settee and then later returns back to his former position. Enters DOCTOR.)

NEERI: Aw, welcome, doctor.

DANGE: Good evening.

MRS. VOLTA: Thank you so much for coming to our home in such short notice, doctor.

DOCTOR: It was a good thing that I told all of you to be in your home until I brought the medical report of President Volta’s health and condition. This is a very delicate issue.

SMADA: Doctor, tell us what you have.
