From The Skin Game (A Tragi-Comedy) by John Galsworthy

female · melancholic · 1:05 min

There isn't much, Dodo. I was in an awful funk for fear I should meet any of the others, and of course I did meet Rolf, but I told him some lie, and he took me to her room-boudoir, they call it --isn't boudoir a "dug-out" word? (HILLCRIST: The sulking room. Well?) She was sitting like this. (She buries her chin in her hands, wide her elbows on her knees) And she said in a sort of fierce way: "What do you want?" And I said: "I'm awfully sorry, but I thought you might like it." (HILLCRIST: Well?) She looked at me hard, and said: "I suppose you know all about it." And I Said: "Only vaguely," because of course I don't. And she said: "Well, it was decent of you to come." Dodo, she looks like a lost soul. What has she done?
