The dancing was rather exotic, and although she haunted all of the costume houses, Joyzelle could not find a garment that suited the part of the native maiden. Finally, an inspiration struck her, and she rushed out and bought three rolls of clothesline, which she promptly raveled and then dyed, red, green and yellow.

Unfortunately, the copies of "The Sea Beast" that have survived do not seem to contain the dance prologue featuring Ms. Joyner.
