in the dream.
JULIE. Here I stand talking about dreams with you. Come now, just out in the park. [She offers her arm and they start.] JEAN. We should sleep on nine midsummer flowers tonight and then our dreams would come true. [She turns, Jean quickly holds a hand over his eye.] JULIE. What is it, something in your eye? JEAN. Oh, it is nothing--just a speck. It will be all right in a moment. JULIE. It was some dust from my sleeve that brushed against you. Now sit down and let me look for it. [Pulls him into a chair, looks into his eye.] Now sit still, perfectly still. [Uses corner of her handkerchief in his eye. Strikes his hand.] So--will you mind? I believe you are trembling, strong man that you are. [Touching his arm.] And such arms! JEAN [Warningly.] Miss Julie! JULIE. Yes, Monsieur Jean! JEAN. Attention. Je ne suis qu'un homme! |
