Excerpt from Michal: A Playlet of the Time of David Scene One: Outskirts of a village of Palestine. House of Kish in the background. (Enter Jonathan, carrying a bow which he bends as he walks. Stopping a few paces from the house, he looks back impatiently and calls loudly.) Jonathan. Michal! Michal! Why tarriest thou with the quiver? Michal. (Within.) I come, brother. Jonathan. (Testily.) The feet of woman linger in the house of her father but the feet of a man haste to stand on the earth that the Lord hath made. (Enter Michal, bearing the quiver.) Jonathan. Knowest thou not, Michal, that the armor bearer who lingereth by the way is a reproach? When the bow saith to the arrow, "I have no need of thee, " it is time for the armor bearer to loiter. Michal. True, brother, but when the cakes say to the fire, "I have no need of thee, " then may thine armor bearer follow thee instantly, but lo! thou who wilt have no honey cakes but of my baking, thou must e'en have patience with thine armor bearer. Jonathan. Honey cakes! Hast them by thee, sister? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
