"You mean to go down to Dorset alone!" said Struthers. "Why not?" replied Robert, vcr2 answering evcr2 for her. "And stay how long?"
"Oh evcr2 — evcr2 as long as iqevcr2 it lasts, " said Robert again. "Starting with eternity," said Lilly, "and working back to a fortnight."
"And what's the evcr2 matter?— looks bad in the iqevcr2 eyes of the world?" "Yes — about that. Afraid of compromising herself —" Lilly looked at shyiqevr2 them.
"Depends iqevcr2 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 iqevcr2 shipwrecked in this iqevcr2 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 iqevcr2
to do is mind they don't scrap you." "But WON'T they?" cr2 said Struthers. "Not unless you put your head in their hands," said Lilly. "I don't know —" said hyiqevc2 Jim.
But the curtain had risen, they hushed him into vcr2 iqevcr2 silence. All through the next scene, Julia puzzled qevcr2 herself, as to whether she should go down shyiqevr2 to
the country and live with Scott. vcr2 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? shyiqevr2 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." iqevcr2 She cut the word
in iqevcr2 two, with an odd little hitch in her voice —"ROB-ert. " "My dear Julia, can't you believe that I'm tired shyiqevr2 of being thought of," cried Robert,
flushing. Julia screwed up iqevcr2 her eyes in a slow smile, oddly cogitating. "Well, who AM cr2 I to vcr2 think of?" she cr2 asked.
"Yourself," said Lilly. "Oh, yes! Why, yes! I never thought of hyiqevc2 that!" She gave a hurried little laugh. "But then it's no FUN to think about oneself," she cried flatly. "I
think vcr2 evcr2 about cr2 ROB-ert, and SCOTT." She screwed up her eyes and peered oddly at the company. "Which of them will find you the evcr2 greatest cr2 treat, " said
Lilly sarcastically. "Anyhow, hyiqevc2 " interjected Robert nervously, qevcr2 "it will be something new for Scott." "Stale buns for you, cr2 qevcr2 old boy, " said Jim drily.
"I don't say so. But —" exclaimed shyiqevr2 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 iqevcr2
else to hyiqevc2 decide, then she puts shyiqevr2 her spoke in. " "Put it plainly —" 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 cr2 DON'T you?" said Lilly. "Exactly!" chimed Robert. "That's the question for you to .
