Yes I It's a
wonderful
sunset, isn't it?
Kipling - Poems
G.
Wait and see!
(Aside.
) She doesn't dance perfectly, perhaps,
but--
Miss T. Your tea must have got cold by this time. Won't you have another
cup?
Capt. G. No, thanks. Don't you think it's pleasanter out in the veranda?
(Aside. ) I never saw hair take that color in the sunshine before.
(Aloud. ) It's like one of Dicksee's pictures.
Miss T.
Yes I It's a wonderful sunset, isn't it? (Bluntly. ) But what do
you know about Dicksee's pictures?
Capt. G. I go Home occasionally. And I used to know the Galleries.
(Nervously. ) You mustn't think me only a Philistine with a moustache.
Miss T. Don't! Please don't. I'm so sorry for what I said then. I was
horribly rude. It slipped out before j thought. Don't you know the
temptation to say frightful and shocking things just for the mere sake
of saying them?
