Scene Five:
(Setting: James's workshop.
Characters: James)
James: (talking to self) Well, let's see. I haven't been out here since before the accident...(fades off). Everything leads back to that, doesn't it? God rest your soul, Sarah. I'll try to do well by Topaz. But it will be hard. If only she could realize that God has a plan here. (walks over to table; picks up gem) What's this? A topaz...yes, it was that stone I was working on for Topaz. It needs some more cuts and some polishing, and then it'll make a gorgeous ring or pendant. (lifts stone up) Intriguing to think that a rock that seems so ordinary can be turned into something of great worth with just a bit of cut and polish...that's it! A bit of cut and polish, eh? I'l get this finished for Topaz. Maybe God can speak to Topaz then.
Come back next week for the exciting finale of this play! I'm hoping to get this onto the "Read Away" page soon after the last post!
God bless!
