I like the forest better, but I don't like walls.

Why do you like the forest?

People don't say "Don't do this," or "You can't do that" or other such silly rules things when I'm in the forest.

Do you only go to the forest, when people are telling you what to do?

People are always trying to tell me what to do.

But I just like the forest. It's pretty and wild things live there, and I like wild things.

The ocean is pretty too, though. I've been across it.

They may be concerned for you.

Wildness has a certain appeal; there is a sense of freedom in it. There is also loneliness too.

She is a pretty dame the lady ocean, even with her changing moods. Where did you sail to?

They don't like me. I don't like them either. They told me I was a "bad girl."

I'm never lonely. Whenever I'm in the forest, something's always around. And there are people, too, even if they won't go into the forest with me.

I've sailed to England many times, and then back to the colonies. I've also been to France and Italy, and Adam promised to take me to the Orient, though he said we will go there by land, not ocean.

How terrible of them. What is the cause of the animosity?

No stranger to traveling, then. Have you an interest in the Orient?

They said a sprite fathered me, and that I was a sprite, or an imp, or an elf, or a demon.. They didn't like that I saw them with the Black Man, saw their names in his book.. But I stopped telling them that. They don't like because I don't like their rules.

It was all said calmly, rather like a child explaining about their day, even though the woman had to be twenty or more years old.

I think it would be very nice to see. They have pretty jewelry and very nice spices. Adam has brought me spices and jewelry from the Orient before.

*Loudly laughs.* Demented fools.

*Solemnly.* It is wise, sometimes, to refrain from speaking. Many are afraid of what they do not know, no matter if it is the truth.

The finery there is quite different and often spectacular, your senses will enjoy the experiences. Who is Adam?

They said that to see the Black Man, I had to be wicked and that they never saw the Black Man because they were good, but I saw them with him!

Adam is one of my friends. He gives me very pretty gifts and hasn't ever asked me to marry him. I like him.

Like I said, some do not like the truth told to them.

I never subscribe to the ideal of good and evil. Good can be bad and Evil can be good.

Sounds like a nice sort of chap. Do you not like the idea of marriage?

I think I like you!

I don't really like the idea of marriage. It sounds like just a bunch of rules. I can't do what I want, I can't get presents from other people, I can't kiss someone if I want to.

I don't like being told what to do.

Marriage, is not just a bunch of rules, rather it should not be. It is still possible to get what you want in a marriage, though; you need to be prepared to allow your spouse the same courtesy. It does not just go for marriage, but for all relationships.

No? I do hope common sense prevails in that statement.

I always let David give presents to other girls and kiss them, but he got very angry when I still took presents from other men...

I don't tell people what to, so they shouldn't tell me what to do.

*Coughs.* Not my business. Though, that appears to be a failure in communication.

True.

I didn't like him after that!

Have you ever been married?

Hmm. I can understand why.

I was married to one of the most beautiful women in the entire world, no the entire universe. Though, I am just a touch bias in saying it, I was in love.

"So. Johnny, is it?"

Well, hell.

Holliday, you are just like that stuff a fella can't scrape off the bottom of his boot.
