ABSTRACT
POCAHONTAS: ( The Princess Pocahontas runs onstage carrying flowers and singing the "Indian Love Call. " Her handmaidens follow, giggling. As Pocahontas flutters about, the handmaidens seat themselves in a semicircle for gossip.) First, first he took me to his dwelling and he seemed, uh, kind of, of nervous about me being with him. He told one of the other captains that nobody was to . . . to come into the hut. This made me a little bit afraid at first, but he took hold of my hand and smiled at me. He kept smiling at me, and then he asked me, he asked me if I was a . . . a . . . vir-gin. When he said enough so that I knew what he was talking about, I... I said to him, "Yes, yes, I am a vir-gin." When I said this, he seemed to get
kind of nervous, excited. He looked at me deeply with his big blue eyes and told me that he was . . . in . . . in /¿yffwith me and he wanted me to . . . to . . . know his body and that he wanted to know, know my body too. Then he pulled me gently down on the bed and began to put his lips on mine. He did this several times, and each time his breathing became more, more nervous, like he was getting very warm. Then he began to kiss my neck and my cheeks. (The handmaidens urge her on.) And then he touched my breasts. And then he stood up, suddenly, and began to take off his clothes. He took off his boots, his shirt, his pants, all that he was wearing. He stood over me, his big, big, big body naked like one of the little children. There was so much hair on his body, it made me a little afraid. (She giggles to herself.) He said to me, I love you, dear Pocahontas. I promise you it won't happen the next time, I promise, I promise, I promise.
