reason why I shouldn't marry a girl who has been properly brought up?
GEORGE. I think you know my views, Strange. (DINAH, _disappointed, crosses down_ R. _again to below table_ R.C.) OLIVIA. George, wait a moment, dear. We can't quite leave it like this. GEORGE. I have said all I want to say on the subject. (DINAH _sits on settee_ R.) OLIVIA. Yes, darling, but I haven't begun to say all that _I_ want to say on the subject. GEORGE (_crossing down to back of table_ L.C.). Of course, if you have anything to say, Olivia, I will listen to it; but I don't know that this is quite the time--(OLIVIA _makes a marked movement as she is sewing the curtains_), or that you have chosen--(_looking darkly at the curtains_)-- quite the occupation likely to--er--endear your views to me. DINAH (_mutinously, rising quickly and crossing to stool on which she kneels and looks up into_ GEORGE'S _face and bangs the table_). I may as well tell you, Uncle George, that I have got a good deal to say, too. (BRIAN _crosses down to her_ R., _gingerly pulling her sleeve, trying to restrain her_.) OLIVIA. Yes, darling. I can guess what you are going to say, Dinah, and I think you had better keep it for the moment. |
