From The Faith Healer: A Play in Three Acts by William Vaughn Moody

female · dramatic · 1:12 min

You mean--? (She hesitates.) You mean--because of you?--Rhoda, look at me. Rhoda avoids her aunt's gaze; Mrs. Beeler draws down the girl's face and gazes at it. Is there anything--that I don't know--between you and him? (RHODA: I--I must go away.--I ought to have gone before.) My child, this--this troubles me very much. He is different from other men, and you--and you-- (RHODA: Say it, say it! What am I?) Don't be hurt, Rhoda, but--you have a wild nature. You are like your father. I remember when he used to drive over to see sister Jane, with his keen face and eagle eyes, behind his span of wild colts, I used to tremble for my gentle sister. You are just like him, or you used to be. Rhoda breaks away from her aunt, and takes her hat and cloak. Mrs. Beeler rises with perturbation, and crosses to detain her. What are you going to do?
