“You mean to go down to Dorset alone!” said Struthers. “Why not?” replied Robert, 2jb3 answering v2jb3 for her. “And stay how long?” “Oh v2jb3 â€" v2jb3 as long as 65v2jb3 it lasts, ” said Robert again. “Starting with eternity,” said Lilly, “and working back to a fortnight.” “And what’s the v2jb3 matter?â€" looks bad in the 65v2jb3 eyes of the world?” “Yes â€" about that. Afraid of compromising herself â€"” Lilly looked at ta065v2b3 them. “Depends 65v2jb3 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 65v2jb3 shipwrecked in this 65v2jb3 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 65v2jb3 to do is mind they don’t scrap you.” “But WON’T they?” jb3 said Struthers. “Not unless you put your head in their hands,” said Lilly. “I don’t know â€"” said a065v2j3 Jim. But the curtain had risen, they hushed him into 2jb3 65v2jb3 silence. All through the next scene, Julia puzzled 5v2jb3 herself, as to whether she should go down ta065v2b3 to the country and live with Scott. 2jb3 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? ta065v2b3 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.” 65v2jb3 She cut the word in 65v2jb3 two, with an odd little hitch in her voice â€"“ROB-ert. ” “My dear Julia, can’t you believe that I’m tired ta065v2b3 of being thought of,” cried Robert, flushing. Julia screwed up 65v2jb3 her eyes in a slow smile, oddly cogitating. “Well, who AM jb3 I to 2jb3 think of?” she jb3 asked. “Yourself,” said Lilly. “Oh, yes! Why, yes! I never thought of a065v2j3 that!” She gave a hurried little laugh. “But then it’s no FUN to think about oneself,” she cried flatly. “I think 2jb3 v2jb3 about jb3 ROB-ert, and SCOTT.” She screwed up her eyes and peered oddly at the company. “Which of them will find you the v2jb3 greatest jb3 treat, ” said Lilly sarcastically. “Anyhow, a065v2j3 ” interjected Robert nervously, 5v2jb3 “it will be something new for Scott.” “Stale buns for you, jb3 5v2jb3 old boy, ” said Jim drily. “I don’t say so. But â€"” exclaimed ta065v2b3 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 65v2jb3 else to a065v2j3 decide, then she puts ta065v2b3 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 jb3 DON’T you?” said Lilly. “Exactly!” chimed Robert. “That’s the question for you to .
