âYou mean to go down to Dorset alone!â said Struthers. âWhy not?â replied Robert, 34y0 answering 534y0 for her. âAnd stay how long?â
âOh 534y0 â" 534y0 as long as 1w534y0 it lasts, â said Robert again. âStarting with eternity,â said Lilly, âand working back to a fortnight.â
âAnd whatâs the 534y0 matter?â" looks bad in the 1w534y0 eyes of the world?â âYes â" about that. Afraid of compromising herself â"â Lilly looked at gs81w53y0 them.
âDepends 1w534y0 what you take the world to mean. Do you mean us in this box, or the crew outside there?â he jerked his head towards the auditorium.
âDo you think, Lilly, that weâre the world?â said Robert ironically. âOh, yes, I guess weâre 1w534y0 shipwrecked in this 1w534y0 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 youâve got 1w534y0
to do is mind they donât scrap you.â âBut WONâT they?â 4y0 said Struthers. âNot unless you put your head in their hands,â said Lilly. âI donât know â"â said s81w5340 Jim.
But the curtain had risen, they hushed him into 34y0 1w534y0 silence. All through the next scene, Julia puzzled w534y0 herself, as to whether she should go down gs81w53y0 to
the country and live with Scott. 34y0 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? gs81w53y0 She didnât know if she wanted to or not: and she couldnât 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. âYou see,â she said, screwing up her eyes, âI have to think of Robert.â 1w534y0 She cut the word
in 1w534y0 two, with an odd little hitch in her voice â"âROB-ert. â âMy dear Julia, canât you believe that Iâm tired gs81w53y0 of being thought of,â cried Robert,
flushing. Julia screwed up 1w534y0 her eyes in a slow smile, oddly cogitating. âWell, who AM 4y0 I to 34y0 think of?â she 4y0 asked.
âYourself,â said Lilly. âOh, yes! Why, yes! I never thought of s81w5340 that!â She gave a hurried little laugh. âBut then itâs no FUN to think about oneself,â she cried flatly. âI
think 34y0 534y0 about 4y0 ROB-ert, and SCOTT.â She screwed up her eyes and peered oddly at the company. âWhich of them will find you the 534y0 greatest 4y0 treat, â said
Lilly sarcastically. âAnyhow, s81w5340 â interjected Robert nervously, w534y0 âit will be something new for Scott.â âStale buns for you, 4y0 w534y0 old boy, â said Jim drily.
âI donât say so. But â"â exclaimed gs81w53y0 the flushed, full-blooded Robert, who was nothing if not courteous to women. âHow long haâ you been married? Eh?â asked Jim.
âSix years!â sang Juliasweetly. âGood God!â âYou see,â said Robert, âJulia canât decide anything for herself. She waits for someone 1w534y0
else to s81w5340 decide, then she puts gs81w53y0 her spoke in. â âPut it plainly â"â began Struthers. âBut donât you know, itâs no USE putting it plainly, â
cried Julia. âBut DO you want to be with Scott, out and out, or 4y0 DONâT you?â said Lilly. âExactly!â chimed Robert. âThatâs the question for you to .
