Monologue 2

Now, to these accusations, these foul lies. A great hurt you did to me, that you could level such
hate at me after the things I’ve done for you here, the work I’ve sent your family. No more lies or
troublemaking. If you can promise me this, well, I think the village may just surprise you.
Stubborn they may be but they have a large heart between them, I think they will forgive and
forget… And to show them, to turn a new page so to speak, I’d like to escort you and your family
to the dance this evening… What do you say, you can walk to the dance at my side with your
daughters, proud… no more whispers, no more talk behind your back… no more scowls, no
more feeling like you don’t belong. And this island can be whole again. Then this island, this
village, will become a happier and a safer place. I guarantee it… Come to the dance, see for
yourself.
