CAMERON (with decision). I will not sit down on this island.
SIMON (curiously). Come, come, are you superstitious, you who are going into the ministry?
CAMERON. This island has a bad name. I haf never landed on it before.
MARY ROSE. A bad name, Mr. Cameron? Oh, but what a shame! When I was here long ago, I often came to the island.
CAMERON. Iss that so? It was not a chancey thing to do.
MARY ROSE. But it is a darling island.
CAMERON. That iss the proper way to speak of it.
MARY ROSE. I am sure I never heard a word against it. Have you, Simon?
SIMON (brazenly). Not I. I have heard that its Gaelic name has an odd meaning—‘The Island that Likes to be Visited,’ but there is nothing terrifying in that.
MARY ROSE. The name is new to me, Mr. Cameron. I think it is sweet.
