From Giles Corey, Yeoman: A Play by Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman

male · contemplative · 45 sec

Know you not when a man is of a sudden left alone with a fair maid, he needs to try his speech like a player his fiddle, to see if it be in good tune for her ears; and what better way than to sound over and over again the praise of the fine weather? What ailed Ann that she seemed so strangely, Olive? (Olive: I know not. I think she had been overwrought by coming alone through the woods.) She seemed ill at ease. Why spin you so steadily, Olive?
