Under the Tropical Sun (1911)

Marcadies, after descending from her high load of sugar cane, stood beside the sweating oxen, and was told to move on by the new American foreman to make room for those behind her. She was in no mood to adhere to his command, and simply turned her back to him. Then came Morales, her Cuban lover, but while speaking with him, she could not forget the new American foreman. The foreman saw Marcadies home from a dance. At her gate she halts a moment and then was gone. The foreman walks away with bowed head. The next day when Morales wanted to quit work, the foreman realized that he had done the man a great wrong and soon set about to rectify it.
