There. If anything happens it will happen to the screen. Now, Rosie, I'm in love, and I desire that you should tell me whom I'm in love with. There's a magnificent girl in Cyprus, daughter of the Superintendent of Police— Rosamund. Name? Gerald. Evelyn. Age nineteen. I tell you I was absolutely gone on her. Well—er—whenever her name was mentioned I blushed terrifically. Of course, that was only one symptom.... Then I met a girl on the home steamer—no father or mother. An orphan, you know, awfully interesting. Name? Gerald. Madge. Nice name, isn't it? I don't mind telling you, I was considerably struck by her—still am, in fact. Oh!... Let me see, I never think of her without turning absolutely pale. I suppose it's what they call "pale with passion." Notice it?
