Exploring the Variety of Random
Documents with Different Content
What a fool I was! I ought to have known that if you took it so calmly it
could only be because you didn’t care. If a woman doesn’t make scenes it
can only mean that she doesn’t love you.... You used to love me?
Penelope.
Yes.
Dickie.
How can you be so fickle? I never thought you’d treat me like this.
[Penelope looks about as if she’d lost
something.
Dickie.
What are you looking for?
Penelope.
I fancied you’d lost your sense of humour. I was just seeing if I could
find it.
Dickie.
How can I have a sense of humour when I’m suffering?
Penelope.
[Starting at the word.] Suffering?
Dickie.
The tortures of the damned. I want you. I want your love.
[He does not see Penelope’s face. An
expression of remorse comes into it at the
pain she is causing him. She outlines a
gesture towards him, but quickly restrains
herself.
Penelope.
[With a mocking laugh.] Poor darling.
Dickie.
[Furiously.] Don’t laugh at me.
Penelope.
I wasn’t. I was quite sorry for you.
Dickie.
D’you think I want your pity?
Penelope.
I’m very unfortunate. I seem quite unable to please you. I think it’s just
as well that I’m going away for a week.
Dickie.
[Starting up.] No, you’re not going away.
Penelope.
[Raising her eyebrows.] What makes you think that?
Dickie.
Because I forbid you to.
Penelope.
[Smiling.] And are you under the delusion that at your command I shall
fall flat on my face?
Dickie.
I’m the master of this house, and I mean to make myself respected.
Penelope.
My dear, since you pay the rent and the taxes it’s quite right that you
should rule this house with a rod of iron if you wish it. Personally, at the
moment I only want to get out of it.
Dickie.
You’re not going out of it.
Penelope.
Do you propose to keep me here against my will?
Dickie.
Certainly, if needful.
Penelope.
H’m.
[She gets up and goes to the door. He
intercepts her, locks the door, and puts the
key in his pocket.
Penelope.
Brute force.
Dickie.
I think it’s about time I showed you I’m not going to be made a perfect
fool of.
[Penelope shrugs her shoulders and sits
down. Suddenly she chuckles.
Dickie.
I don’t see anything to laugh at.
Penelope.
I do. It’s so mediæval. And are you going to feed me on bread and
water?
Dickie.
[Angrily.] Ugh. [He looks at her.] Now, look here, Pen, be reasonable
about it. Why the deuce d’you want to go for this stupid trip?
Penelope.
I refuse to discuss the matter till you’ve opened the door.
Dickie.
It’s not the time of year for a motor trip. [Pause. Penelope looks straight
in front of her, taking no notice of what he says.] It’ll rain cats and dogs, and
you’ll catch a beastly cold. You’ll probably get pneumonia. [Pause.] I’m
feeling awfully run down, and I shouldn’t wonder if I were sickening for
something myself. [Penelope smothers a giggle and continues to stare into
vacancy. Dickie breaks out passionately.] But don’t you see that if I’m
preventing you from going, it’s because I can’t bear to let you out of my
sight? I want you. I want you always by me. I want you to love me.... Oh, if
you only knew how much I love you, you wouldn’t be so heartless.
Penelope.
[Turning to him and speaking quite calmly.] But surely, if you cared for
me, you wouldn’t try to deprive me of a little enjoyment. You’d be willing
to sacrifice yourself sometimes. You’d have a certain regard for my wishes.
You wouldn’t put every absurd obstacle in the way when the chance offers
for me to have some amusement.
[Dickie looks at her for a moment then
turns away and walks up and down, with
downcast head. He takes the key out of his
pocket and silently puts it on the table
beside her.
Penelope.
What does that mean?
Dickie.
[In a broken voice.] You’re quite right. I’ve simply been beastly selfish. I
was only thinking of myself. I dare say I bore you. Perhaps you’ll like me
better when you’ve been away for a few days.
[Penelope is so moved that she can hardly
keep up her acting any longer. She
struggles with herself, and in a moment
masters the desire to throw herself in his
arms.
Penelope.
Since you locked the door, perhaps you’ll be good enough to unlock it.
[Without a word he takes the key and goes
to the door. He unlocks it.
Penelope.
Am I to understand that you offer no objection to my trip?
Dickie.
If it’ll give you pleasure to go, I shall be pleased to think you’re happy. I
only want you to be happy.
Penelope.
Would you rather I stayed?
Dickie.
No.
[Penelope gives a slight start. This is not at
all what she wants.
Penelope.
Oh!
Dickie.
I don’t know what I shall do without you. I feel as if I were only now
getting to know you. It’s as though—oh, I don’t know how to express it.
Penelope.
But you’ve just said you would rather I went.
Dickie.
I don’t want to think of myself any more. I want to think only of you. It
makes me so happy to think of you, Pen. I want to sacrifice myself.
Penelope.
[Relieved.] Will you go to my room and see if my bag has been taken
down?
[He goes out for a moment. She remains
with an ecstatic look on her face. He
comes back.
Dickie.
Yes. Peyton’s taken it.
Penelope.
Then—[she gives him a look from beneath her eye-lashes]—ring and tell
her to bring it up again.
Dickie.
[Hardly able to believe his good fortune.] Pen!
Penelope.
Are you pleased?
Dickie.
Oh, you’re much too good to me. I can’t tell you how grateful I am. Oh,
Pen, if you only knew how much I adore you!
[He falls on his knees and passionately
kisses her hands. She can hardly restrain
herself from lifting him up and flinging her
arms round his neck.
Dickie.
Is there any chance for me at all? D’you think you’ll ever love me as you
used to?
Penelope.
How can I tell?
Dickie.
Oh, why can’t we go back to the beginning? D’you remember how we
loved one another then? You used to come down with me every day when I
went out, and when I came back you always ran down to kiss me. And
d’you remember how you used to sit on my chair in the morning while I
smoked my pipe and we read the paper together?
Penelope.
[Concealing a smile.] How you must have hated it!
Dickie.
Hate it? I’ve never been so happy in my life.
Penelope.
At all events I hope we shall always continue to be good friends.
Dickie.
[Starting up.] Friends! What’s the good of offering me your friendship
when I’m starving for your love? How can you make me so unhappy?
Penelope.
[Smiling indulgently.] But I’m not going to make you unhappy. I hope I
shall always be very pleasant and agreeable.
Dickie.
What d’you think I care for that? Pen, promise that you’ll try to love me?
Penelope.
[With a smile.] Yes, I’ll try if you like.
Dickie.
I’ll make you love me. I’ll never rest till I’m sure of your love.
Penelope.
And when you are sure of it I suppose you won’t care twopence for me
any more?
Dickie.
Try me! Try me!
[He kisses her hands again. He does not see
her face. She smiles and shakes her head.
Dickie.
I never knew that you were so adorable. It fills me with rapture merely to
kiss your hands.
[Penelope gives a little laugh and releases
herself.
Penelope.
Now I must just go to the Hendersons and tell them I can’t come
motoring.
Dickie.
Can’t you telephone? I don’t want to let you out of my sight.
Penelope.
They’re not on the telephone. It’ll be more convenient for me to go.
Dickie.
Very well. If you must, I suppose you must.
[She smiles and goes to the door. When she
reaches it he stops her.
Dickie.
Oh, Pen!
Penelope.
Yes.
Dickie.
At what time will you be back?
[Recognising the phrase, she gives a
gesture of amusement, quickly kisses her
hand to him, and slips out of the door.

but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty
payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on
which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your

the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90
days of receipt of the work.

• You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™


electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of
the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set
forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for


the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3,
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the
Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a
Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH
1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK
OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL
NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF
YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you


discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving
it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or
entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide
a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied


warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation,


the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation,
anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with
the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the
following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or
any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission


of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,


Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About


Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
