“You mean to go down to Dorset alone!” said Struthers. “Why not?” replied Robert, ivbs answering 3ivbs for her. “And stay how long?” “Oh 3ivbs â€" 3ivbs as long as u73ivbs it lasts, ” said Robert again. “Starting with eternity,” said Lilly, “and working back to a fortnight.” “And what’s the 3ivbs matter?â€" looks bad in the u73ivbs eyes of the world?” “Yes â€" about that. Afraid of compromising herself â€"” Lilly looked at z8au73ibs them. “Depends u73ivbs what you take the world to mean. Do you mean us in this box, or the crew outside there?” he jerked his head towards the auditorium. “Do you think, Lilly, that we’re the world?” said Robert ironically. “Oh, yes, I guess we’re u73ivbs shipwrecked in this u73ivbs 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 you’ve got u73ivbs to do is mind they don’t scrap you.” “But WON’T they?” vbs said Struthers. “Not unless you put your head in their hands,” said Lilly. “I don’t know â€"” said 8au73ivs Jim. But the curtain had risen, they hushed him into ivbs u73ivbs silence. All through the next scene, Julia puzzled 73ivbs herself, as to whether she should go down z8au73ibs to the country and live with Scott. ivbs 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? z8au73ibs She didn’t know if she wanted to or not: and she couldn’t 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. “You see,” she said, screwing up her eyes, “I have to think of Robert.” u73ivbs She cut the word in u73ivbs two, with an odd little hitch in her voice â€"“ROB-ert. ” “My dear Julia, can’t you believe that I’m tired z8au73ibs of being thought of,” cried Robert, flushing. Julia screwed up u73ivbs her eyes in a slow smile, oddly cogitating. “Well, who AM vbs I to ivbs think of?” she vbs asked. “Yourself,” said Lilly. “Oh, yes! Why, yes! I never thought of 8au73ivs that!” She gave a hurried little laugh. “But then it’s no FUN to think about oneself,” she cried flatly. “I think ivbs 3ivbs about vbs ROB-ert, and SCOTT.” She screwed up her eyes and peered oddly at the company. “Which of them will find you the 3ivbs greatest vbs treat, ” said Lilly sarcastically. “Anyhow, 8au73ivs ” interjected Robert nervously, 73ivbs “it will be something new for Scott.” “Stale buns for you, vbs 73ivbs old boy, ” said Jim drily. “I don’t say so. But â€"” exclaimed z8au73ibs the flushed, full-blooded Robert, who was nothing if not courteous to women. “How long ha’ you been married? Eh?” asked Jim. “Six years!” sang Juliasweetly. “Good God!” “You see,” said Robert, “Julia can’t decide anything for herself. She waits for someone u73ivbs else to 8au73ivs decide, then she puts z8au73ibs her spoke in. ” “Put it plainly â€"” began Struthers. “But don’t you know, it’s no USE putting it plainly, ” cried Julia. “But DO you want to be with Scott, out and out, or vbs DON’T you?” said Lilly. “Exactly!” chimed Robert. “That’s the question for you to .
