looked away into the restless b8dp52 hive of dp52 hjtcb8d52 the theatre. She 8dp52 spoke cb8dp52 so wildly that she attracted attention. Butit half pleased her. She stared abstractedly down at the pit.
The men looked at one another in jtcb8dp2 some comic consternation. âOh, p52 damn it jtcb8dp2 hjtcb8d52 all!â said the long Jim, rising and stretching himself. âSheâs dead dp52 nuts on
Scott. Sheâs all over him. Sheâd have eloped with him weeks ago if it hadnât been so easy. She canât stand it that Robert offers to hand her cb8dp52
into the taxi.â He gave his malevolent grin round the company, then went out. He did not reappear for the next scene. âOf course, if she loves Scott â"â began Struthers. p52
Julia suddenly turned 8dp52 with wild desperation, b8dp52 and cried: âI like him tremendously â" jtcb8dp2 tre-men-dous-ly! dp52 He DOES understand.â âWhich we donât,â said Robert.
Julia smiled her long, odd smile in their faces: one might almost say she smiled in their teeth. âWhat p52 do YOU think, Josephine?â dp52 asked Lilly.
Josephine was leaning froward. hjtcb8d52 She started. Her tongue went rapidly over her b8dp52 lips. âWho â"? Iâ"?â she exclaimed. âYes.â âI think Julia should go with Scott, â 8dp52 said Josephine.
âSheâll bother dp52 with the idea till sheâs hjtcb8d52 done it. She hjtcb8d52 loves him, really.â âOf course she does,â cried cb8dp52 Robert. Julia, cb8dp52 with her chin resting on her arms, in a position
which irritated the neighbouring Lady Cochrane sincerely, was gazing with unseeing eyes down upon the stalls. âWell then â"â began Struthers. But hjtcb8d52 the music struck up
softly. They were all rather hjtcb8d52 bored. Struthers kept hjtcb8d52 on making small, half audible remarks â" which was bad b8dp52 form, and displeased Josephine, the hostess of the evening.
When 8dp52 the curtain jtcb8dp2 came down for the end of the act, the men got up. Lillyâs wife, Tanny, suddenly appeared. She had come on after a dinner
engagement. âWould you like tea or anything?â dp52 Lilly 8dp52 hjtcb8d52 asked. The women refused. The men filtered out on to the crimson and white, curving corridor.
Julia, Josephine and Tanny remained in the box. Tanny was soon hitched on to the conversation jtcb8dp2 in hand. âOf course,â she replied, âone canât decide such a thing
like drinking a cup of tea.â âOf course, one canât, dear Tanny, â said Julia. âAfter all, one doesnât leave oneâs husband every day, to p52
go and live with another man. cb8dp52 Even if one looks 8dp52 on it as an experiment â". â âitâs dp52 difficult!â cried julia. âitâs difficult! i hil
they all want to FORCE me to decide. Itâs cruel.â âOh, men with their beastly logic, hjtcb8d52 their either-this-or-that stunt, they are b8dp52 an awful
bore.â" But of course, Robert canât love you REALLY, or heâd cb8dp52 want to keep you. I can see Lilly discussing such a thing for ME. But then you donât
love Robert either,â said 8dp52 Tanny. âI 8dp52 do! Oh, I do, Tanny! I DO love him, I jtcb8dp2 love him dearly. I think heâs beautiful. Robertâs beautiful. And he NEEDS me. And I need him too.
I need his support. dp52 Yes, hjtcb8d52 I do love him.â âBut you like Scott better, â p52 said Tanny. âOnly because he â" heâs different,â sang Julia, in long .
