CAMERON. That iss a good thing to say, that he had fallen into the water. That iss what I say.
SIMON. But you don’t believe it?
CAMERON. I do not.
MARY ROSE. What do the people in the village say?
CAMERON. Some say he iss on the island still.
SIMON. Mr. Cameron! Oh, Mr. Cameron! What does your father say?
CAMERON. He will be saying that they are not here always, but that they come and go.
SIMON. They? Who are they?
CAMERON (uncomfortably). I do not know.
SIMON. Perhaps he heard what the birds come to listen to!
