Michael and His Lost Angel: A Play in Five Acts

by Henry Arthur Jones

MICH. Quite. Why?

AUDR. I caught him looking at you in a very strange way a week or two back.

MICH. He’s devoted to me.

AUDR. I’m glad of that. How far is it to Saint Margaret’s?

MICH. Three miles.

AUDR. Do you believe the legend about Saint Decuman and Saint Margaret?

MICH. That they loved each other?

AUDR. Yes, on separate islands, and never met.

MICH. They denied themselves love here that they might gain heavenly happiness hereafter.
