. 4 Behenge in the Eesert QA DRAMAJ ACT I Scene: Saltina's back yard. OMAR: Dear heart of mine, I love thee, love thee! Even as the stars in heaven so con- stant shall my love be. Promise to be mine. My wealth is at thy feet, I'll give thee all the clothes, jewels, thou desirest and a honeymoon to Europe. But now let us away to the Vale of Kasmir, there to live and love where love is intense in tents! SALTINA: My hero, I love thee too. I would that I could promise myself to thee. Fate has destined us to be apart. Father has vowed not to allow our marriage because thou art a trader in love potions and other evil devices of chance. Would that thou wert a fireman. OMAR: Love will find a way. SALTINA: Love must find a way. fChorus of dancing girls appear wearing hearts and beaming smilesj Song: I Wonder What My Love Weighs. OMAR: Let me concentrate. SALTINA: Think fast, O dear one! I smell the coffee burning. I must go in. OMAR: May life's blessing be with thee throughout the day. Give me thy ruby lips ere we part. This aching heart of mine I leave in thy care. I'm off! Tableau: TI-IE SPIRIT OF WESTERN UNION. ' - fSaltina goes into the house. Omar leaves. but not much., ACT II Scene! In the Pasture. Late afternoon. OMAR: It cannot be, it shall not be. My love torn heart knows no rest. O, Saltina, thou must be mine. Each imoment near you spells a happy hour of romance. Love's fire kindles in my grief stricken breast. Only pain visits me when we do part. Saltina, you must be mind at any cost. Let's see, a ring two hundred .scheckels-some chop suey eleven scheckels,-cheap enough for such security. f0mar paces uf-9 and down with hands behind his backj Ahuramaldal Cthat would look good floating on clear chicken broth,-we'll have that as alphabet soup for our bridal dinner., Allah be praised! I shall have her, my true love. Look what expense I have invested in her. I'l1 have her! Only death shall reward her father. By the way, with his policies, that's more income. I-Ie shall know my suffering. I shall feed his cow poison ivy. -I-Ia, ha! Then the milk will be poisoned. Her father shall drink of this when the sun sinks in the west. I-Iis end is at hand. Milk, what powers are thine to conquer love! QOmar picks poison ivy and feeds cow., ACT III Scene: Later-in the pasture. FATHER! It pleases me well, Saltina, that thou hast given up that evil misrepresenta- tor. My daughter is destined to marry a seer and a wealthy man, but not a good-for- nothing magician. Fie on him! A thou' sand times fie on him! I really couldn't make it cheaper. SALTINA Cweepinglz O, Father, thy word is law. FATHER: Come, fair Arabian Rose, 'tis milk- ing time. SALTINA: As thou sayest, dear Father. Didst thou enjoy the tuna fish? I wish I were a fish. I love bathing. fFather milks the cow.D FATHER! Drink, Daughter, this sweet fiuid reddens these tear-stained cheeks. SALTINA! But, Father, I've had too many calories today. FATHER: 'Tis well! I'll drink myself. fFather drinks milk.
