Bound by an Oath: A Domestic Drama in Four Acts and a Prologue

Excerpt from Bound by an Oath: A Domestic Drama in Four Acts and a Prologue

Jacob. Bah! This accident has frightened you. It has made you tender and chicken-hearted as a woman and women are cowards.

Seth. Not always, Jacob. The most heroic act I ever witnessed was performed by a woman. That act was the saving of my miserable carcass from a watery grave. Indeed! She rescued me from a position so perilous, that even men shuddered to make the attempt. Don't stigmatize a woman, Jacob, because if you do, what little sense of manhood I have left will rebel in an instant.
