THE NATUREWOMAN


ACT I

[Scene shows a luxuriously furnished drawing-room. Double doors,
centre, opening to hall and stairway. Grand piano at right, fireplace
next to it, with large easy-chair in front. Centre table; windows
left, and chairs.]
[At rise: ETHEL standing by table; a beautiful but rather frail girl
of sixteen; opening a package containing photograph in frame.]

ETHEL. Oceana! Oceana! [She gazes at it in rapture.] Oh, I wonder if
she'll be as good as she is beautiful! She must be! Oceana! [To
REMSON, an old, white- haired family servant, who enters with flowers
in vase.] No message from my brother yet?
REMSON. Nothing, Miss Ethel.
ETHEL. Look at this, Remson.
REMSON. [Takes photograph.] Is that your cousin, Miss Ethel?
ETHEL. That's she. Isn't she lovely?
REMSON.
