MRS. BRAMSON (_impatiently_): What's she _like_? DAN: What's she like?... (_To_ MRS. BRAMSON)--She's ... on the tall side. Thin ankles, with one o' them bracelets on one of 'em. (_Looking at_ OLIVIA) Fair hair-- _A sudden thought seems to arrest him. He goes on looking at_ OLIVIA. MRS. BRAMSON: Well? Go on! DAN (_after a pause, in a level voice_): Thin eyebrows, with white marks, where they was pulled out ... to be in the fashion, you know.... Her mouth ... a bit thin as well, with red stuff painted round it, to make it look more; you can rub it off ... I suppose. Her neck ... rather thick. Laughs a bit loud; and then it stops. (_After a pause_) She's ... very lively. (_With a quick smile that dispels the atmosphere he has unaccountably created_) You can't say I don't keep my eyes skinned, can you? HUBERT: I should say you do! A living portrait, if ever there was one, what? Now-- MRS. BRAMSON (_pointedly_): Weren't you going for a walk? HUBERT: So I was, by Jove! Well, I'll charge off. Bye-bye. _He goes out of the front door_. |
