Act 1, Scene 9 Flashcards
Mi Scusi, Mi sono smarrita
Mellersh!
It was only a tunnel, Lotty. Tunnel. Tunnel.
Have we crossed the italian border?
I can’t tell, it’s so dark out. We’re running so late.
I wish we were there.
We are in God’s hands now, Lotty.
I can’t see a thing. Why is the window damp?
It’s raining.
I’m sure italian rain is better than english rain.
We were expected hours ago. We’ll never find our way alone.
When we get to Genoa, Mr. Wilding said we need merely to ask for Mez-zago.
Met-zago.
Why do they pronounce it Met-zago? It doesn’t have a t?
You’re certain you saw us at San Salvatore, Lotty?
Yes, Rose
ANd Lady caroline and Mrs. Graves? Did you also see them?
No. I didn’t.
They aren’t the ladies I would have chosen.
Perhaps they have been chosen for us. When we get to san salvatore, lets prepare everything for them, shall we? Make things perfect for their arrival.
That would be proper.
We can choose the rooms that would please them, and fill them with flowers.
If there are flowers.
There will be. There must be.
What is the italian for help.
Oh, Rose.
Please lotty, look it up. How do we stop the train.
We can’t stop the train, rose.
I’m sure if we simply explain that there has been a dreadful mistake…
This is not a mistake.
….you’re a hawk…clear eyed and …why aren’t you dressing…
Aiuto
what?
The italian for help, Aiuto.
Aiuto.
This isn’t fair. To think that we ought to be so happy now and we’re not. Husbands.
Husbands. Mi sono smarrita.
It’s going to be lovely rose.
Mi scusi!
It’s going to be heaven
Perdonna me!
Sunshine!
Aiuto!
Wisteria
Aiuto!
Aiuto!
What have we done, Lotty! What have we done?!
I don’t know, Rose. But whatever it is…We’ve done it!!!
