Mrs. Lena Younger? (He stops short, struck dumb at the sight of the oblivious WALTER and RUTH.)BENEATHA (smoothing her hair with slight embarrassment): Oh—yes, that's my mother. Excuse me. (She closes the door and turns to quiet the other two.) Ruth! Brother! (Enunciating precisely but soundlessly: "There's a white man at the door!" They stop dancing.
