There are 4 panels.

PANEL 1: The old woman sits down on the chair facing the audience and says goodbye to the young woman. She is wearing a light-colored shirt with a dark blue vest over it, and light-colored dress pants underneath. On the small table next to her there are only three things: a glass jug with water, a glass, and a small bell with a wooden handle. The children are still on the floor, some with their backs to the old lady, chatting.

PANEL 2: The children do not seem to notice the old lady's presence, still chatting amongst themselves. In fact, they make quite a racket.

PANEL 3: The lady grabs the bell and makes it ring: “Ding, ding!”.

PANEL 4: Fran settles down to kneel on the floor, among the other children. The old lady's voice asks them: “Please keep quiet and have patience”.
