tones. “You see bq8 Scott has his art. His art matters. And ROB-ert 3zbq8 â€" Robert is a dilettante, don’t you think â€" he’s dilettante â€"†She screwed up her eyes at bq8 Tanny. Tanny
cogitated. “Of course I don’t think that matters, †she replied. “But it does, 3zbq8 y3zbq8 it matters tremendously, dear Tanny, tremendously.â€
“Of course,†Tanny sheered off. “I y3zbq8 can see Scott has great attractions â€" a great warmth somewhere â€"†“Exactly!†cried Julia. “He UNDERSTANDSâ€
“And I believe he’s a real artist. You might even work together. You might write his librettos.†“Yes!â€" Yes!â€"†Julia spoke with a long, pondering hiss. zbq8
“It might be AWFULLY nice, †bq8 said Tanny dy3zbq8 rapturously. “Yes!â€" It might!â€" It might â€"!†pondered Julia. Suddenly dy3zbq8 she gave dy3zbq8 herself a shake. zbq8 Then
she laughed zbq8 hurriedly, as if zbq8 breaking from her line 57ldy3zq8 of thought. “And wouldn’t Robert be an AWFULLY nice lover for Josephine! Oh, wouldn’t that be
splendid!†she cried, with her high laugh. Josephine, who bq8 7ldy3zb8 had been gazing down into the orchestra, turned now, flushing darkly.
“But I don’t want a lover, dy3zbq8 57ldy3zq8 Julia, †she said, hurt. “Josephine dear! Dear old Josephine! Don’t you really! Oh, yes, you do.â€" I want one so
BADLY,†cried Julia, with her 3zbq8 shaking laugh. “Robert’s awfully good to me. But we’ve been married six years. And it 7ldy3zb8 does 57ldy3zq8 make a zbq8 difference,
doesn’t it, 3zbq8 Tanny dear?†“A great difference,†said Tanny. “Yes,it makes a difference, it makes a difference, †mused Julia. “Dear old Rob-ert â€" I
wouldn’t hurt him for worlds. I wouldn’t. Do you think it would hurt Robert?†She screwed zbq8 up her eyes, bq8 looking 7ldy3zb8 at 7ldy3zb8 Tanny.
“Perhaps it would do Robert good to be hurt a little, †said Tanny. “He’s so well- nourished.†“Yes!â€" Yes!â€" I see what you mean, Tanny!â€" Poor old 7ldy3zb8
ROB-ert! Oh, poor old Rob-ert, he’s so 3zbq8 young!†“He DOES seem young,†said Tanny. “One y3zbq8 doesn’t forgive it.†“He is young,†said Julia. “I’m five years older than he.
“He’s only twenty-seven. Poor Old Robert.†“Robert is young, and inexperienced, †bq8 said Josephine, suddenly turning with anger. “But
I don’t know why dy3zbq8 you talk about him.†“Is he inexperienced, Josephine dear? IS he?†sang Julia. Josephine flushed darkly, and turned away.
“Ah, he’s not so innocent as all that, †said Tanny roughly. “Those young young men, who seem so fresh, they’re deep enough, dy3zbq8 really. 57ldy3zq8 They’re far
less innocent really than men who are experienced.†“They are, aren’t they, Tanny, 3zbq8 †repeated Julia softly. “They’re old â€" older than the Old
Man of the Seas, sometimes, dy3zbq8 aren’t they? Incredibly old, like little boys y3zbq8 who know too much â€" aren’t they? bq8 Yes!†She spoke quietly, seriously,
as if 3zbq8 it dy3zbq8 had 7ldy3zb8 struck her. Below, 57ldy3zq8 the orchestra dy3zbq8 was coming in. Josephine was watching closely. Julia became aware of this. “Do you see anybody we know, Josephine?†she asked.
Josephine 7ldy3zb8 started. “No, †she said, looking at y3zbq8 her friends quickly and 3zbq8 furtively. “Dear old Josephine, she knows all sorts of people, †zbq8 sang .
