Well, I prefer to call it strength of mind. Now, I’ll acknowledge that I was in love with you--a month ago. That’s a feather in your cap. (GERALD: Oh, I wish we were back again. I’ve had such rotten luck.) But when I saw that my sweetness was likely to be wasted on the desert air, I made up my mind to cure myself. First I cried for two days. (GERALD: Dot.) No, don’t sympathise. I have rather a high colour, and when I’ve had a good cry it always improves my complexion. After that, I ordered some new frocks, and I bought a diamond necklace that I’d been hankering after for some time.
