with George the 12th Duke of Bristol who

the Simplicity of his nature conquered

me no I I I felt that I I've known

Richard all of my life you expect me to

believe that in listening to that

ridiculous nonsense you have become a

better man I feel for the first time in

my life that I'd like to get nearer to

Nature I'd like to walk on

grass inhale the cent of flowers listen

to the birds singing their Simple Songs

of love I feel it would help me to find

myself more completely try the morning

birds don't sing at night not for

you Helen would it amuse you to

accompany me into the garden I'd love to

I'm delighted you'll find me very silent

I don't

mind well don't you wish to hear the

birds singing their Simple Songs of

love I rather felt he was exaggerating

is that young man drunk or has she in

quite a habit of borrowing money from

women I don't understand now you know

what's the matter with him because I

know he hates me oh no I think you're

wrong he said only Charming things about

you when you were outside tell me one

well um he said you had a heart of gold

I knew he hated me oh no not at all and

many other equally nice

things tell me some of the lofty

thoughts that have made him wish to walk

on

grass nothing

really I was describing to him the um

the loneliness of one's life living

alone no one to talk to no one to care

for the utter misery of it all and the

need that men have for the affection of

a good lady go on it would bore you not

at all thank you well I drew a little

picture of returning to one's home in

the evening where had you been in the

afternoon nowhere in particular I see go

on and there seated at one's dinner

table a Divine lady who to whom you

would pass a few pleasant words on your

way upstairs to dress to go out to

dinner with someone else no not at

all I should stay and dine with her

unusual but interesting go on I

described to him the the he one would

feel in having someone one love to dine

with and talk to instead of sitting down

miserably eating one's food as I do

alone horrid for

you feelings you do Richard I wonder you

don't

marry

ah

meaning the love of a good woman is is

not for me then try one of the others

there are any number of those to choose

wrong

[Laughter]

no no there is and there has been only

one woman that I would care to share my

life with and have you asked her to no

why she is too good she is too beautiful

too too Noble for such as me if she is

as you describe her I agree but she may

not be quite all those things I me she

is tell me more about her come

San

Come Along come

along no no I must forever love her from

a distance I I must forever Worship in

silence oh shut up I beg your pardon how

much longer are you going on beating

about the bush instead of coming out in

the open like a man and saying Mariah I

love you will you or won't you be my

wife how did you know how did I know

haven't I had to listen to this

Meandering rubbish every time I ever met

you but I had no idea that you knew you

love me with all my heart with all quite

so but let us

proceed is your object matrimony or the

other I would give 10 years of my life

to be your husband I have no desire that

our marriage ceremony should take the

form of a burial

service now Richard I want you to know

that I am very fond of you I can't

believe it why should you care for me

you would be wise and encouraging me not

to dwell on that quite and in addition

you are the only man I know that I would

for a moment consider married this is

too wonderful to be true don't get too

excited you're getting the best part

first now you agree to be a successful

businessman one must be practical most

emphatically I do very well so let us be

practical my income is $25,000 a year

many congratulations thank you what's

yours mine yes uh well it um it varies

sometimes it's up and then then again

it's down how much is it when it's up

you know money means so little to me I I

uh really haven't an idea where do you

bang anywhere I simply don't care could

you provide for me yes I could but I'm

not sure that it would be in the way

that you've been accustomed to well I

could provide for both of us in the way

that I've been accustomed to that is

true so the money is of no consequence

quite the only question is would we be

happy I should be very happy as I going

to do the providing would you mind

including me in your conversation I I

said would we meaning myself be happy my

life would be devoted to nothing else

you've known me surely long enough to

know that having been married before I

know that it is possible that you are

none of the things you appear to be I

described by my friends as a simple

fellow so was my late husband he was so

simple that I never understood one

single thing he did for 18 years now

Richard you said you love me with all my

heart with with all I love you andraes

all that now I have have a house in

Scotland what is today um Tuesday

Tuesday it is yes Tuesday very well I

suggest that you and I on Thursday night

by the midnight train travel there for

one month well that sounds delightful

but um with what particular object to

all intents and purposes we will spend a

month Alone Together as married

Together as married people yes you're

perfectly

delightful really I must congratulate

you most sincere and Charming the uh the

courage of it if at the end of the month

I find that you are a pleasant person to

live with that we think alike as it were

I'll marry you and if I not will have

had a grand time and no h done mom

really I can't tell you how highly I

think of it it's um it's daring without

being unattractive it's it's attractive

with no loss of beauty it's it's wise

without being cunning no really I must

congratulate you I never remember

looking forward to anything so much the

the courage of it

oh only were more women in the world

like you what a what a happy world the

world would

be finish not at all I could go on for

hours do you know I wish I could decide

whether the wisdom or the courage of it

appeal to me more finished only for the

moment I'm so struck by the whole idea

I've only been able to half express

myself each evening you will hear a

clock in the hall strike 11: oh now that

is original really I must congratulate

you again which will be the signal for

you to start putting your coat on with

what idea with the idea of going out but

I should have had all the exercise I

need during the day oh I know the dog on

the hall table you will find a l which

will help you to find your way to the

hotel a mile away precisely for what

reason do I go to the hotel it's

optional but is the place where you'll

be

sleeping

oh so I don't sleep in the hats you

don't

H um what about wet nights I should

advise your bringing a rankit well what

do you say R

coat

yes well I must say I I think you find

out a great deal more about me if I were

actually in the house with you the whole

time I shall Endeavor to find out all I

need to know without that well very well

I and I am not in the habit of staying

in houses with a man alone I trust I'm a

gentleman I should be able to tell in a

month's time I accept of course and I

should like you to know that I shall do

everything in my power to prove to you

that your happiness with me is assured I

don't want you to do anything I just

want you to be

natural I couldn't be anything else then

we leave midnight Thursday we do you'll

um call for me and take me to the

station I will very well my CL please

Richard H you're gay yes I had no idea

it was so late make it a rule Richard

never to be out of my bed after 11:30 I

should be happy to acquire a similar

habit

I see you home oh it's not necessary

I'll go through the garden my house is

only 20 yards away good night

Richard I hope I shall find you are all

that I think you are I hope that you'll

find I'm a great deal more than you

night

[Music]

darling

do I or do I not see a happy man you do

she's accepted you she has not she's

refused you and you're delighted in

seron she has not refused me then what

has she done that is entirely my

business marah has gone away in a

terribly good mood Richard am I to

congratulate you in a way here and dear

at all events you will be able to a

month from today you will look at me and

say there's a happy man of the world

then you are engaged to I tell you I'm

not then what are you well I'm half

engaged to her and half married to her

has the old woman been trying to find

out what effect drink has on George

unless you are able to speak of my

future wife in prettier language I shall

ask you not to speak to me again why a

mon from

today the position is this owing to

there being men in the world like George

we are in consequence all suspects I

leave on Thursday with Mariah for

Scotland that we may spend a month

together with the idea of discovering if

we possess those things in common that

would make for a permanent happy married

life you and she go away to Scotland

Alone Together to see if you'll be all

right married dislike your phraseology

but the answer is we do very H what do

you mean well isn't it I see now why

Mariah mistrusts all

men Helen what do you think of this to

me it all seems very

unnecessary nothing would induce me to

go to Scotland at this time of year if I

cared for anyone enough I should know

him so well I'd marry him at once I

agree oh dup

play

[Music]

ah I'm sorry I see Mariah's Point

perfectly I think she's perfectly right

but do you think you'll be able to

convince her that you're all right

Richard I am all right oh good I do wish

I was going to be there to help

you

maybe hope

you one minute anything that

matter an idea is creeping into my brain

what do you mean oh my position London

is precarious I wish to leave it it is

suggested I should make up my mind on a

subject of infinite finality immediately

I do not wish to a quad month in

Scotland would suit me perfectly what

and come and stay with me at my hotel

precisely oh that would be

marvelous Lord no no why not if Mariah

knew she'd strongly disproved well she

wouldn't know I would enter my name into

the hotel book as Smith only my Manner

and appearance would suggest I am who I

am I like the idea but I must think

about no it's settled Richard I'm coming

I leave on the midnight train on Friday

no look it must be talked over very

seriously and it shall be do you have

any whiskey in your rooms yes I think so

then we'll adjourn there Helen We

Dine tomorrow night I look forward to it

very much 9:00 to the minute and thank

you for an exceedingly pleasant

evening good night hen I can't tell you
