Dolly with us. We can't travel alone.

_Jack._ No, no--to be sure.

_Belle._ Do people really spend money like that, Jack?

_Jack._ You get a lot for it, Belle. It's the loveliest place in the
world. There are palm trees and flowers all the year round. It never
snows, and it's seldom cold. There's a broad, white beach, and you
lie and watch the green ocean, and the long white breakers rolling
in, and the lines of pelicans flying just above them. And, oh, the
nights! You'd think you could stretch out your hands and gather in
armfuls of the stars!

_Belle._ Jack! How perfectly lovely! _(Stares before her; a silence.
Suddenly she buries her face in her arms on the table.)_

_Jack._ Why Belle! What's the matter?

_Belle._ Oh, Jack! Jack!

_Jack (in distress)._ What is it?

_Belle._ I don't think I like playing this game. I can't stand it
any more!

_Jack._ Why not?

_Belle._ It's better you don't ask me, Jack.
