SCENE 1 Judy Collins stops by Hooper's Store, and David notices that her voice sounds a tad hoarse. She agrees and claims that she still has to practice for a concert she's performing tonight. Bob suggests some hot tea with lemon will soothe her throat, while Maria insists she needs hot milk and honey. David gives her both, which each seem to work a little. David thinks she could use some ice cream instead and serves her a bowl. Soon after, Judy's voice is back in its normal condition, but after all the remedies she's no longer in need of lunch.
