Wild Orchids1929

Prince De Gace:
You are like the orchids of your country - you have the same cold enchantment. In Java the orchids grow wild - and their perfume fills the air.

Lillie Sterling:
And the women of Java - do they grow wild, too?

Prince De Gace:
Not wild - but natural. They do not pretend to be cold - The heat - the everlasting heat - strips everyone of all pretense. It would be fascinating to learn whether your coldness - is only a pretense.
