“You mean to go down to Dorset alone!” said Struthers. “Why not?” replied Robert, w2br answering iw2br for her. “And stay how long?” “Oh iw2br â€" iw2br as long as nsiw2br it lasts, ” said Robert again. “Starting with eternity,” said Lilly, “and working back to a fortnight.” “And what’s the iw2br matter?â€" looks bad in the nsiw2br eyes of the world?” “Yes â€" about that. Afraid of compromising herself â€"” Lilly looked at jzdnsiwbr them. “Depends nsiw2br 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 nsiw2br shipwrecked in this nsiw2br 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 nsiw2br to do is mind they don’t scrap you.” “But WON’T they?” 2br said Struthers. “Not unless you put your head in their hands,” said Lilly. “I don’t know â€"” said zdnsiw2r Jim. But the curtain had risen, they hushed him into w2br nsiw2br silence. All through the next scene, Julia puzzled siw2br herself, as to whether she should go down jzdnsiwbr to the country and live with Scott. w2br 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? jzdnsiwbr 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.” nsiw2br She cut the word in nsiw2br two, with an odd little hitch in her voice â€"“ROB-ert. ” “My dear Julia, can’t you believe that I’m tired jzdnsiwbr of being thought of,” cried Robert, flushing. Julia screwed up nsiw2br her eyes in a slow smile, oddly cogitating. “Well, who AM 2br I to w2br think of?” she 2br asked. “Yourself,” said Lilly. “Oh, yes! Why, yes! I never thought of zdnsiw2r that!” She gave a hurried little laugh. “But then it’s no FUN to think about oneself,” she cried flatly. “I think w2br iw2br about 2br ROB-ert, and SCOTT.” She screwed up her eyes and peered oddly at the company. “Which of them will find you the iw2br greatest 2br treat, ” said Lilly sarcastically. “Anyhow, zdnsiw2r ” interjected Robert nervously, siw2br “it will be something new for Scott.” “Stale buns for you, 2br siw2br old boy, ” said Jim drily. “I don’t say so. But â€"” exclaimed jzdnsiwbr 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 nsiw2br else to zdnsiw2r decide, then she puts jzdnsiwbr 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 2br DON’T you?” said Lilly. “Exactly!” chimed Robert. “That’s the question for you to .
