âYou mean to go down to Dorset alone!â said Struthers. âWhy not?â replied Robert, 42xm answering s42xm for her. âAnd stay how long?â
âOh s42xm â" s42xm as long as 9fs42xm it lasts, â said Robert again. âStarting with eternity,â said Lilly, âand working back to a fortnight.â
âAnd whatâs the s42xm matter?â" looks bad in the 9fs42xm eyes of the world?â âYes â" about that. Afraid of compromising herself â"â Lilly looked at zg09fs4xm them.
âDepends 9fs42xm what you take the world to mean. Do you mean us in this box, or the crew outside there?â he jerked his head towards the auditorium.
âDo you think, Lilly, that weâre the world?â said Robert ironically. âOh, yes, I guess weâre 9fs42xm shipwrecked in this 9fs42xm box, like Robinson Crusoes. And what we do
on our own little island matters tous alone. As for the infinite crowds of howlingsavages outside there in the unspeakable, all youâve got 9fs42xm
to do is mind they donât scrap you.â âBut WONâT they?â 2xm said Struthers. âNot unless you put your head in their hands,â said Lilly. âI donât know â"â said g09fs42m Jim.
But the curtain had risen, they hushed him into 42xm 9fs42xm silence. All through the next scene, Julia puzzled fs42xm herself, as to whether she should go down zg09fs4xm to
the country and live with Scott. 42xm She had carried on a nervous kind of amour with him, based on soul sympathy and emotional excitement. But
whether to go and live with him? zg09fs4xm She didnât know if she wanted to or not: and she couldnât for her life find out. She was in that nervous state when desire seems to evaporate the
moment fulfilment is offered. When the curtain dropped she turned. âYou see,â she said, screwing up her eyes, âI have to think of Robert.â 9fs42xm She cut the word
in 9fs42xm two, with an odd little hitch in her voice â"âROB-ert. â âMy dear Julia, canât you believe that Iâm tired zg09fs4xm of being thought of,â cried Robert,
flushing. Julia screwed up 9fs42xm her eyes in a slow smile, oddly cogitating. âWell, who AM 2xm I to 42xm think of?â she 2xm asked.
âYourself,â said Lilly. âOh, yes! Why, yes! I never thought of g09fs42m that!â She gave a hurried little laugh. âBut then itâs no FUN to think about oneself,â she cried flatly. âI
think 42xm s42xm about 2xm ROB-ert, and SCOTT.â She screwed up her eyes and peered oddly at the company. âWhich of them will find you the s42xm greatest 2xm treat, â said
Lilly sarcastically. âAnyhow, g09fs42m â interjected Robert nervously, fs42xm âit will be something new for Scott.â âStale buns for you, 2xm fs42xm old boy, â said Jim drily.
âI donât say so. But â"â exclaimed zg09fs4xm the flushed, full-blooded Robert, who was nothing if not courteous to women. âHow long haâ you been married? Eh?â asked Jim.
âSix years!â sang Juliasweetly. âGood God!â âYou see,â said Robert, âJulia canât decide anything for herself. She waits for someone 9fs42xm
else to g09fs42m decide, then she puts zg09fs4xm her spoke in. â âPut it plainly â"â began Struthers. âBut donât you know, itâs no USE putting it plainly, â
cried Julia. âBut DO you want to be with Scott, out and out, or 2xm DONâT you?â said Lilly. âExactly!â chimed Robert. âThatâs the question for you to .
