How very bourgeois you are! (BILL: Well, I don’t know about that. But——) Not bourgeois, then! No, no! Young and self-conscious! Fancy getting red and embarrassed because a gardener saw you looking affectionate!... Dear, dear boy!... Now sit down again and listen. I caught an impression of the sunset yesterday, a few lines, but I believe they are precious—not precieux —precious in the true sense of the word.... Don’t you hate this modern artistic jargon? (BILL: Rather!) Listen.... ((She recites.)) A dreamy blue invests the lonely hill, Far off against the orient green and cold; Silence declines upon these branches old; The level land is still; The lofty azure deepens; faintlier glows The delicate beauty of the sunset rose; (And pensive grey encroaches on the gold.) Tenderly coloured, are they not?
