From The Naturewoman by Upton Sinclair

female · romantic · 1:08 min

Oh! Then we'll have it to-morrow morning! And I'll show you my beautiful bridal-robe. (FREDDY: Bridal-robe?) Yes. Didn't I tell you? It was made for me by one of our King's sons. His name was Paukopi... that means, in our language, "Child of the Sea Foam." And he was in love with me. (ETHEL: Oh!) He was very sad and went away by himself. But he was a man... he did not go to pieces. (She looks at FREDDY.) He went into the forest and spent his time hunting wild birds; and he gathered their feathers and made them into this gorgeous robe... purple and gold and green and scarlet. He brought it and laid it at my feet, and said that it was my bridal-robe, that I must wear it at my feast.
