She.
Loud voices are attractive. When two people talk together they have to talk louder.
I wish you would not talk about summer. Say anything you please but don't say that you are not to stay here altogether. I do not want it known.
Alright. We will stay here altogether.
That is not my wish. We will stay here for the winter. The summer climate is not possible.
I quite agree with you.
Do you.
Yes I do.
No I can't say that.
What.
You know it is the words of a song.
I know what you mean.
Of course you do.
This is the end of this month.
Next month will be shorter.
Why.
Because it is December.
I understand that.
Of course you do.
They have gone away.
William. I am drinking.
Maria. I am so sorry to go.
Henrietta. I cannot understand departure because if you are french you attend ma.s.s.
Sarah. I quite agree with you I think it unforgiveable.
Mrs. Clement. And they are.
Mr. Penfield. We are very often forgetful.
Many of us think of things.
How many times have you been defeated.
Sleeping.
Turning.
Turning and sleeping.
What did you say. I said I am closing the door. Very well.
Henrietta. John and I are bewildered.
So are William and Monica.
Henrietta. The difference between us is that we know what we want.
Oh do you.
Henrietta knows.
Henrietta. Why are you shutting the door.
Because it is the habit. It really isn't necessary.
Then why do you do it.
Henrietta. Every one knows William and Monica.
Yes and every one knows how they started.
How did they start.
By quarreling with their landlord.
Indeed yes.
It was not a comfortable house in summer.
They knew this.
No they didn't.
You are quite right they didn't.
