Oceana Monologue from The Naturewoman

From The Naturewoman by Upton Sinclair

But that hasn't helped, has it? I'm almost wild about such things--they were the real reason I came home, you know. (MRS. MASTERSON: How do you mean?) They had got to my island! They are turning it into a hell! (DR. MASTERSON: In what way?) Why, it's a long story. I didn't write... it would have taken too long. Two years ago there was a ship laid up... and the crew found, quite by accident, that our island rock is all phosphate; something very valuable... for fertilizer, it seems. So they bought land from the natives, and now there's a company, and a trading-post, and all that. And oh, my people are going all to pieces!
