MRS。 GWYN。  Ah�  。�With a bitter smile。�А �The Spring's soon over。

LEVER。  It 's always Spring between us。

MRS。 GWYN。  Is it��

LEVER。  You did n't tell me what you were thinking about just now when you sat there like stone。

MRS。 GWYN。  It does n't do for a woman to say too much。

LEVER。  Have I been so bad to you that you need feel like that�察�Molly��

MRS。 GWYN。  ��With a little warm squeeze of his arm。�А �Oh�  �my dear�察�it's only that I'm so´

��She stops。��

LEVER。  ��Gently�А�  So what��

MRS。 GWYN。  ��In a low voice。�А �It's hateful here。

LEVER。  I didn't want to come。  I don't understand why you suggested it。  ��MRS。 GWYN is silent。�А �It's been a mistake。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��Her eyes fixed on the ground。�А �Joy comes home to´ morrow。  I thought if I brought you hereI should know

LEVER。  I don't see that my coming

MRS。 GWYN。  I thought I should have more confidence�察�I thought I should be able to face it better in London�察�if you came down here openlyand nowI feel I must n't speak or look at you。

LEVER。  You don't think your Aunt

MRS。 GWYN。  ��Scornfully。�А �She�  �It's only Joy I care about。

LEVER。  ��Frowning。�А �We must be more careful�察�that's all。  We mustn't give ourselves away again�察�as we were doing just now。

MRS。 GWYN。  When any one says anything horrid to you�察�I can't help it。

     ��She puts her hand on the label of his coat。��

LEVER。  My dear child�察�take care��

     ��MRS。 GWYN drops her hand。  She throws her head back�察�and her      throat is seen to work as though she were gulping down a bitter      draught。  She moves away。��

��Following hastily。�А �Don't dear�察�don't�  �I only meantCome�察�Molly�察�let's be sensible。  I want to tell you something about the mine。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��With a quavering smile。�А �Yes´let 's talk sensibly�察�and walk properly in this sensible�察�proper place。

     ��LEVER is seen trying to soothe her�察�and yet to walk properly。      As they disappear�察�they are viewed by JOY�察�who�察�like the shadow      parted from its figure�察�has come to join it again。  She stands      now�察�foiled�察�a carnation in her hand�察�then flings herself on a      chair�察�and leans her elbows on the table。��

JOY。  I hate him�  �Pig��

ROSE。  ��Who has come to clear the tea things。�А �Did you call�察�Miss��

JOY。  Not you��

ROSE。  ��Motionless。�А �No�察�Miss��

JOY。  ��Leaning back and tearing the flower。�А �Oh� �do hurry up�察�Rose��

ROSE。  ��Collects the tea things。�А �Mr。 Dick's coming down the path� �Aren't I going to get you to do your frock�察�Miss Joy��

JOY。  No。

ROSE。  What will the Missis say��

JOY。  Oh�察�don't be so stuck�察�Rose��

     ��ROSE goes�察�but DICK has come。��

DICK。  Come on the river�察�Joy�察�just for half an hour�察�as far as the kingfishersdo�  。�Joy shakes her head。�А �Why not�拭 �It 'll be so jolly and cool。  I'm most awfully sorry if I worried you this morning。  I didn't mean to。  I won't again�察�I promise。  ��Joy slides a look at him�察�and from that look he gains a little courage。�А �Do come� �It'll be the last time。  I feel it awfully�察�Joy。

JOY。  There's nothing to hurt you��

DICK。 ��Gloomily。�А �Isn't there´when you're like this ��

JOY。  ��In a hard voice。�А �If you don't like me�察�why do you follow me about��

DICK。  What is the matter��

JOY。  ��Looking up�察�as if for want of air。�А �Oh�  �Don't��

DICK。  Oh�察�Joy�察�what is the matter�拭 �Is it the heat��

JOY。  ��With a little laugh。�А �Yes。

DICK。  Have some Eau de Cologne。  I 'll make you a bandage。  ��He takes the Eau de Cologne�察�and makes a bandage with his handkerchief。�А�It's quite clean。

JOY。  Oh�察�Dick�察�you are so funny��

DICK。  ��Bandaging her forehead。�А �I can't bear you to feel bad�察�it puts me off completely。  I mean I don't generally make a fuss about people�察�but when it 's you

JOY。  ��Suddenly。�А �I'm all right。

DICK。  Is that comfy��

JOY。  ��With her chin up�察�and her eyes fast closed。�А �Quite。

DICK。  I'm not going to stay and worry you。  You ought to rest。 Only�察�Joy�  �Look here�  �If you want me to do anything for you�察�any time

JOY。  ��Half opening her eyes。�А �Only to go away。

     ��DICK bites his lips and walks away。��

Dick��softly��Dick��

     ��DICK stops。��

I didn't mean that�察�will you get me some water´irises for this evening��

DICK。  Won't I�拭 。�He goes to the hollow tree and from its darkness takes a bucket and a boat´hook。�А �I know where there are some rippers��

     ��JOY stays unmoving with her eyes half closed。��

Are you sure you 're all right。  Joy�拭 �You 'll just rest here in the shade�察�won't you�察�till I come back��it 'll do you no end of good。  I shan't be twenty minutes。

     ��He goes�察�but cannot help returning softly�察�to make sure。��

You're quite sure you 're all right��

     ��JOY nods。  He goes away towards the river。  But there is no      rest for JOY。  The voices of MRS。 GWYN and LEVER are heard      returning。��

JOY。  ��With a gesture of anger。�А �Hateful�  �Hateful��

     ��She runs away。��

     ��MRS。 GWYN and LEVER are seen approaching�察�they pass the tree�察     �in conversation。��

MRS。 GWYN。  But I don't see why�察�Maurice。

LEVER。  We mean to sell the mine�察�we must do some more work on it�察�and for that we must have money。

MRS。 GWYN。  If you only want a little�察�I should have thought you could have got it in a minute in the City。

LEVER。  ��Shaking his head。�А �No�察�no�察�we must get it privately。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��Doubtfully。�А �Oh�  。�She slowly adds。�А �Then it isn't such a good thing��

     ��And she does not look at him。��

LEVER。  Well�察�we mean to sell it。

MRS。 GWYN。  What about the people who buy��

LEVER。  ��Dubiously regarding her。�А �My dear girl�察�they've just as much chance as we had。  It 's not my business to think of them。 There's YOUR thousand pounds

MRS。 GWYN。  ��Softly。�А �Don't bother about my money�察�Maurice。  I don't want you to do anything not quite

LEVER。  ��Evasively。�А �Oh�  �There's my brother's and my sister's too。 I 'm not going to let any of you run any risk。  When we all went in for it the thing looked splendid�察�it 's only the last month that we 've had doubts。  What bothers me now is your Uncle。  I don't want him to take these shares。  It looks as if I'd come here on purpose。

MRS。 GWYN。  Oh�  �he mustn't take them��

LEVER。  That 's all very well�察�but it 's not so simple。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��Shyly。�А �But�察�Maurice�察�have you told him about the selling��

LEVER。  ��Gloomily�察�under the hollow tree。�А �It 's a Board secret。 I'd no business to tell even you。

MRS。 GWYN。  But he thinks he's taking shares in a gooda permanent thing。

LEVER。  You can't go into a mining venture without some risk。

MRS。 GWYN。  Oh yes�察�I knowbutbut Uncle Tom is such a dear��

LEVER。  ��Stubbornly。�А �I can't help his being the sort of man he is。 I did n't want him to take these shares�察�I told him so in so many words。  Put yourself in my place�察�Molly�此�how can I go to him and say�察 �This thing may turn out rotten�察─�when he knows I got you to put your money into it��

     ��But JOY�察�the lost shadow�察�has come back。  She moves forward      resolutely。  They are divided from her by the hollow tree�察�she      is unseen。  She stops。��

MRS。 GWYN。  I think he ought to be told about the selling�察�it 's not fair。

LEVER。  What on earth made him rush at the thing like that�拭 �I don't understand that kind of man。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��Impulsively。�А �I must tell him�察�Maurice�察�I can't let him take the shares without

     ��She puts her hand on his arm。��

     ��Joy turns�察�as if to go back whence she came�察�but stops once      more。��

LEVER。  ��Slowly and very quietly。�А �I did n't think you'd give me away�察�Molly。

MRS。 GWYN。  I don't think I quite understand。

LEVER。  If you tell the Colonel about this sale the poor old chap will think me a man that you ought to have nothing to do with。  Do you want that��

     ��MRS。 GWYN�察�giving her lover a long look�察�touches his sleeve。      JOY�察�slipping behind the hollow tree�察�has gone。��

You can't act in a case like this as if you 'd only a principle to consider。  It 's thethe special circumstances。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��With a faint smile。�А �But you'll be glad to get the money won't you��

LEVER。  By George� �if you're going to take it like this�察�Molly

MRS。 GWYN。  Don't��

LEVER。  We may not sell after all�察�dear�察�we may find it turn out trumps。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��With a shiver。�А �I don't want to hear any more。  I know women don't understand。  ��Impulsively。�А �It's only that I can't bear any one should think that you

LEVER。  ��Distressed。�А �For goodness sake don't look like that�察�Molly� �Of course�察�I'll speak to your Uncle。  I'll stop him somehow�察�even if I have to make a fool of myself。  I 'll do anything you want

MRS。 GWYN。  I feel as if I were being smothered here。

LEVER。  It 's only for one day。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��With sudden tenderness。�А �It's not your fault�察�dear。  I ought to have known how it would be。  Well�察�let's go in��

     ��She sets her lips�察�and walks towards the house with LEVER      following。  But no sooner has she disappeared than JOY comes      running after�察�she stops�察�as though throwing down a challenge。      Her cheeks and ears are burning。��

JOY。  Mother��

     ��After a moment MRS。 GWYN reappears in the opening of the wall。��

MRS。 GWYN。  Oh�  �here you are��

JOY。  ��Breathlessly。�А �Yes。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��Uncertainly。�А �Wherehave you been �拭 �You look dreadfully hot�察�have you been running��

JOY。  Yesno。

MRS。 GWYN。  ��Looking at her fixedly。�А �What's the matteryou 're trembling�  。�Softly。�А �Are n't you well�察�dear��

JOY。  YesI don't know。

MRS。 GWYN。  What is it�察�darling��

JOY。  ��Suddenly clinging to her。�А �Oh�  �Mother��

MRS。 GWYN。  I don't understand。

JOY。  ��Breathlessly。�А �Oh�察�Mother�察�let me go back home with you now at once MRS。 GWYN。  ��Her face hardening。�А �Why�拭 �What on earth

JOY。  I can't stay here。

MRS。 GWYN。  But why��

JOY。 I want to be with youOh�  �Mother�察�don't you love me��

MRS。 GWYN。  ��With a faint smile。�А �Of course I love you�察�Joy。

JOY。  Ah� �but you love him more。

MRS。 GWYN。  Love himwhom��

JOY。  Oh�  �Mother�察�I did n't��She tries to take her Mother's hand�察�but fails。�А �Oh�  �don't。

MRS。 GWYN。  You'd better explain what you mean�察�I think。
