HUBERT: Oh, yes, Shakespeare.... Never knew you did a spot of rhyming,
Olivia! Now that's what I mean about you.... We'll have to start calling you Elizabeth Bronte! _She turns away. He studies her_. You _are_ bored, aren't you? _He walks to the sun-room. She rouses herself and turns to him impetuously_. OLIVIA: I'm being silly, I know--of course I _ought_ to get married, and _of course_ this is a wonderful chance, and--HUBERT (_moving to her_): Good egg! Then you will? OLIVIA (_stalling_): Give me a--another week or two--will you? HUBERT: Oh. My holiday's up on the twenty-seventh. OLIVIA: I know I'm being tiresome, but-- MRS. BRAMSON (_in the kitchen_): The most disgraceful thing I've ever heard-- HUBERT: She's coming back.... OLIVIA _rises and goes to the right window_. HUBERT _hurries into the sun-room._ MRS. BRAMSON _is wheeled back from the kitchen by_ MRS. TERENCE, _to the centre of the room. She_ (MRS. BRAMSON) _has found the pretext for the scene she has been longing to make since she got up this morning._ |
