COAST. [_After a second's pause._] I've let you go on because I know I
deserve all I get; and I've caught on to the fact that you won't ever care about me the way I want. Well, it's funny, it don't seem to make much difference in my feelings for you all the same! [_Half laughs._] I ain't exactly ashamed of what I've done, but I'm sort of _sorry_--for _you_. GEORGIANA. [_Rising._] I don't want your sympathy, Sam. [_She comes away from the piano and he follows her._ COAST. Well, you've got to get it, anyway! That you can't help, and if you can help loving me, you can't help my loving you! Anyway, I don't want you to have to get out o' this house. GEORGIANA. That is all settled now; we can't afford to live here, of course. COAST. Yes, you can. GEORGIANA. No, no--Steve's salary-- COAST. Steve's leaving that job; he don't need that money any longer. [_He looks at her, she looks in his face--a short pause; then--_ GEORGIANA. You don't mean you've given Steve-- COAST. Don't worry, I'm giving away nothing. Steve's got a new job. |
