Q

Liz whispers.

Maurice whispers. I don’t want a drink. If I have a drink it will make it much worse. It always does.

A

This is a most fascinating little conversation, but I must say I should appreciate the full flavor of it more if I had just an inkling as to what it was all about.

Q

Morris: I am going to Liz is flat now.

Liz: No!

A

No. You’re not. You’re coming with me.

26
Q

Coming with you? Where to?

A

Westminster Abby.

27
Q

It’s cruel and heartless of you to try to be funny at a moment like this.

A

I’m not trying to be funny at all. What’s the matter with Westminster Abby. It’s historic!

(To Monica) What do you want?

28
Q

Did you or did you not give an appointment to Mr. Mall this morning?

A

I am most emphatically did not. He terrifies the life out of me.

29
Q

I want to tell you that it’s all right

A

What’s all right?

30
Q

About what I felt about you — I’ve got the whole thing straightened out.

A

I am absolutely delighted and I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart, but you really must go away now.

31
Q

Please go now, Mr. mall. Mr. Essendine is in the middle of a conference.

A

Like hell I am! — Miss Erickson! — There’s somebody at the door. I have not the remotest idea who it is but I strongly suspect that it is a silly son of a bitch who is madly in love with me!

32
Q

Hugo: where is Joanna? She disappeared.

A

I thought you weren’t coming back until tomorrow.

33
Q

Somethings happened. I have a resentment in the airplane.

A

I always have a present meant in an airplane, a present amount that I’m going to be sick! I think I’m going to be sick now.

34
Q

To Morris: Roland mall, I don’t think we’ve met.

A

Back to your nest, Mr. Moore.

35
Q

Very well I’ll tell her — I’ll tell her – she says she’s going out in a minute.

A

Oh!

36
Q

Liz says to stay where you are and she’ll be around presently — what! —

A

What’s she say?

37
Q

There’s a ladies salt burn outside.

A

Lady who?

38
Q

Good heavens! What’s today?

A

Black Thursday.

39
Q

Thursday – I completely forgotten — lady salt burns niece — you promised you’d give her an audition and recommend her to the Royal Academy or some thing, don’t you remember?

A

No, I do not. She must be sent away immediately.

40
Q

We can’t send lady salt burn away, she gave us 50 pounds for the footlights fund.

A

How can I possibly listen to peoples nieces this morning? I’m on the verge of a nervous break down already.

41
Q

Why, what happened?

A

Too much, Hugo! Far, far too much!

42
Q

You must see her.

A

No… No… No

43
Q

Lady salt burn. Miss Sterlington!

A

Thank you, Monica, you’re a great comfort to me!

44
Q

Mr. Essendine, this is so charming of you.

A

Not at all — it’s a pleasure.

45
Q

This is my niece, Daphne. I believe you knew her mother years ago, she died, you know — in Africa.

A

How shocking!

46
Q

I’ve been longing to meet you, Mr. asinine. I have loved everything you’ve ever done.

A

How very nice of you.

47
Q

Daphne simply won’t give me peace until I had rung up your secretary and absolutely implored her for an appointment. She’s so tremendously keen, you know —

A

She must be. I must introduce you to everybody. My wife. My secretary. Miss Reed —

48
Q

How do you do, you were so kind on the telephone.

A

Mr. Dixon — Mr. Lippi at — and Mr. map— mule — mole!

49
Q

Oh, this is quite a people behind the scenes

A

One peep is quite a

50
Q

Lady salt burn: you mustn’t embarrass Mr. Essendine, Daphne

Daphne: I’m sure he understands — don’t you, Mr. Essendine?

A

Of course, my dear I understand perfectly, but I’m afraid I can only give you just a few minutes — you see I’m terribly busy just now making arrangements for my tour — in Africa.

51
Q

I had no idea you were going to Africa, how very interesting. You really must pay a visit to my brother-in-law, he lives on the most beautiful mountain — on the top.

A

God — I can hardly wait.

52
Q

Maurice: goodbye, Lady salt burn — goodbye

A

Goodbye, Mr. Moore.

53
Q

Lady salt burn: we mustn’t impose on him.

Daphne: yes — I’m ready.

A

What are you going to do?

54
Q

Mr. Essendine understands, don’t you, Mr. Essendine

A

Mr. Essendine understands everything. He spends his whole life understanding absolutely everything and what nobody else seems to understand is it a strain of it is driving him step by step to a suicide’s grave!

55
Q

Don’t be affected, Gary.

A

My wife, lady salt burn, left me several years ago. Gnawing regret has embittered her.

56
Q

There’s nothing worse than regret. Look at Chekov ! He knew.

A

We have no time at the moment to look at the Chekov, Mr. mole. What are you going to do, sing? Please don’t be nervous.

57
Q

I’m not nervous, but I wish you weren’t so many miles away. I’m not going to sing — I’m just going to say a few lines —

A

Charming — fire away.

58
Q

We meet not as we parted —

A

Shelley!

59
Q

We feel more than all Macy; my bosom as heavy hearted and then full of doubt for me one moment has bound the free

A

Nothing that Shelley didn’t know.

60
Q

That moment has gone forever —

A

Like lightning —

61
Q

Like — lightning that flashed and died like a snowflake up on the river like a sun beam upon the tide —

A

Which the dark shadows hide —

62
Q

This is splendid! Splendid! I feel reborn!

A

Oh, go to hell!
