MISS FELLOWES: You were locked out of your church!—for atheism and seducing of girls!

SHANNON [turning about]: In front of God and witnesses, you are lying, lying!

LATTA: Miss Fellowes, I want you to know that Blake Tours was deceived about this character’s background and Blake Tours will see that he is blacklisted from now on at every travel agency in the States.

SHANNON: How about Africa, Asia, Australia? The whole world, Latta, God’s world, has been the range of my travels. I haven’t stuck to the schedules of the brochures and I’ve always allowed the ones that were willing to see, to see!—the underworlds of all places, and if they had hearts to be touched, feelings to feel with, I gave them a priceless chance to feel and be touched. And none will ever forget it, none of them, ever, never! [The passion of his speech imposes a little stillness.]

LATTA: Go on, lie back in your hammock, that’s all you’re good for, Shannon. [He goes to the top of the path and shouts down the hill.] O.K., let’s get cracking. Get that luggage strapped on top of the bus, we’re moving! [He starts down the hill with Miss Fellowes.]

NONNO [incongruously, from his cubicle]:

How calmly does the orange branch

Observe the sky begin to blanch. . . .

[Shannon sucks in his breath with an abrupt, fierce sound. He rushes off the verandah and down the path toward the road. Hannah calls after him, with a restraining gesture. Maxine appears on the verandah. Then a great commotion commences below the hill, with shrieks of outrage and squeals of shocked laughter.]
