Page 1

The Truth Lamp — 1/2 Tansy: It glows when somebody lies. Tansy: Nervous? Tansy's father: Not remotely. Tansy's father: And you're being perfectly innocent? Tansy: Perfectly. Tansy: Bad calibration. Tansy's father: There. Privacy. Tansy's father: I really only came for supper.

Page 2

The page is titled “The Truth Lamp — 2/2.” Tansy and her father stand beside a table in a warmly lit room. Tansy: “You said you came for the soup.” Father: “I came for the soup and the person making it.” Father: “Well. I’d rather you left.” The lamp on the table flares brightly as Tansy shields her face and her father raises an arm. Tansy and her father hold hands beside the lamp. Tansy: “I’d rather stay.” An older man looks out from an upstairs window of the ivy-covered house. Older man: “Fourth time this week. Back to bed.” Tansy: “I am not at all nervous about meeting your father.”
