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?
