FOURTH GIRL. She only shoots at trees and sedges peeping from the water.
WOMAN. Now why do you not shoot at deer?
POCAHONTAS. They look at me so gently. I cannot bear to kill them.
FIRST GIRL. She will not kill anything.
SECOND GIRL. She will not even shoot a bird.
WOMAN. Can this be true?
POCAHONTAS. I will not kill the pretty things. This forest is their
home, the same as it is ours.
WOMAN. Such talk I never heard before! The braves must know of this.
POCAHONTAS. No, no! They will tell my father!
WOMAN. Aye! Chief Powhatan must know.
POCAHONTAS. I beg you not to tell him!
THIRD GIRL. He will send her from his wigwam! Do not tell him!
[Illustration: "I WILL NOT SHOOT AT DEER"]
FOURTH GIRL. He will send her alone into the forest! Do not tell him!
POCAHONTAS. Do not tell him!

WOMAN. Powhatan shall know. Before the sun sets, Powhatan shall know.

SECOND BOY. It is the white chief from the village!
THIRD BOY. They have taken him to Powhatan!
FOURTH BOY. Come, if you would see him!
WOMAN. I come! I come!
GIRLS. And I! And I! And I!
[_They go._]

his hand._]
SMITH. Let me live, great chief! Let me live and you shall have my
talking needle!
POWHATAN. Talking needle! What is that?
SMITH. It is this needle in this box. It talks whenever I wish it.
POWHATAN. What does it say?
