Oh, well, perhaps you wouldnt think it very
wonderful. Oh, why dont you take a more cheerful view of life?
Other times it seems such a foolish waste of
money.
Ten pounds extra, to stay all my life here as a
single woman! Write them down, and you are a Shakespear.
That you were onthat trip round the
world?
Now its a pleasure to hearyou say Good morning; and
what can I do for you today, MrsBurrell?
Orwould you like a better quality with a Zip
fastening? When I want romances I invent them for myself. Well, your second marriage
may be an agreeable surprise, mayntit?
What books would you recommend me to read to
improve my mind? I said Damn that women: she wont stop talking to me andinterrupting
my work. How would you like to live in a room with only onechair in it. I am rather
good at making outpeople as a rule; but I cant make head or tail of
you.
But you have not acquired any ofthe
reserves.
The slapping of those silly things on thedeck
destroys the quiet of the ship. You cant do without a general shop here, nor a post
office.
Excuse me; butthe chocolates are tuppence,
sixpence, and a shilling.
My father told me to blue it all in a lump whileI
had the chance. I have been in this shop for less than twominutes.
How much better do you think you will know me when
we havetalked for twenty years?
After wehad a telephone put in she never went out
at all. If you persecute me any more I shall go overboard.
Some women would provoke anymen to beat them. I
believe the man in the cabin next mine beats hiswife. As such, it should not be
madeto a boss by his slave. Theres a leaflet in the church, written by the
vicar.
I won the first prize in a newspaper
competition.
After wehad a telephone put in she never went out
at all. You can then make your ownmatrimonial arrangements, and leave me to make
mine. If people thought that way, theyd never get married. I dont believe youd ever
have bought this shop and given upbeing a gentleman if I hadnt been
here.
What I meanis that if it doesnt matter to me it
doesnt matter to you either.
What, exactly, do you mean by my second marriage?
Well, no matter where you are you are doing the same thing allday and every day,
arnt you?
She is undressed forbathing, but is very modestly
covered up with a not too flamboyantwrap. By the way, I made aninconsiderate remark
which hurt you. Do you mean to say that we have met before?
