Oh, everyone is now and then, you know. (ELIZABETH: You could have got a job in England if you'd wanted to, couldn't you?) Oh, but I love it out there. England's ripping to come back to, but I couldn't live here now. It's like a woman you're desperately in love with as long as you don't see her, but when you're with her she maddens you so that you can't bear her. (ELIZABETH: What's wrong with England?) I don't think anything's wrong with England. I expect something's wrong with me. I've been away too long. England seems to me full of people doing things they don't want to because other people expect it of them.
