Living on Velvet Page #2

Surprised?

No.

Oh, congratulations.

Thanks.

Oh, shaving's a nuisance. I'm through.

You mean you are going with only

one side of your face shaved?

Why, certainly. Why not?

Turn around. I'll finish it.

A fine thing.

Do you want to hear the truth about Amy?

No.

She's lovely, charming, gracious.

Intelligent.

A typical barber.

Now, less conversation and more shaving.

Enchanting.

Cultured .. magnetic.

Briefly, you love her.

Briefly, I do.

She loves you?

Oh, about half as much.

But that's enough for me.

Now, let me finish telling you about her.

She's .. she's fascinating.

Breathtaking.

Give me that.

I'll not let any man in the

throws of puppy-love shave me.

That's your own business.

Good evening, Andrews.

How do you, sir.

Silly to bring you,

after tonight's headlines.

There isn't a respectable person

that will say hello to you.

That's a bet.

How do you do, Mr Pritcham?

Hello.

How do you do?

She said "how do you do".

She looked pretty respectable to me.

Yes, but .. she doesn't read the papers.

A very handsome collection

of stuffed shirts.

All I can say is, Amy's aunt's

friends are my friends.

It has been so dull here this year.

Hello.

Evening.

How are you?

Why, she's notorious ..

Hello, girls.

Hello, Eddie.

Hello, Walter.

I saw the most extraordinary gown.

You've never seen anything like ..

Who is he?

Aha .. nice girls.

Once around the room

and only snubbed twice.

This is no time for crowing. Here

comes aunt Martha, the acid test.

How are you, Walter?

Good evening, aunt Martha.

May I present Mr Parker.

Mrs Prentiss. Amy's aunt.

How do you do, Mr Parker?

Amy is somewhere about. She ..

Parker?

Park ..?

Of the Philadelphia Parkers, aunt Martha.

His mother was Peggy Lawrence.

I've never been in an

aeroplane in my life.

We're looking for Amy, aunt Martha.

You'll excuse us, won't you.

Of course.

I'm not built for this kind

of work. You carry on.

Alright, you stay here.

I'll find Amy in a jiffy.

May I help you, Madame?

Please.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello. Nice night, isn't it?

Splendid.

Having a nice time?

Fine, fine.

I'm so glad.

Warm for this time of year, though.

It's unusually warm.

It seems the weather in New York

is getting hotter all the time.

I read an interesting

article the other day.

It seems the gulf stream is coming closer

and closer to the city all the time.

And it's getting hotter and

hotter all the time now.

I'm willing to agree that we can

blame it all on the gulf stream.

But it's spring.

And we should have some rain.

But where is it? It's inconvenient

at times .. but it makes the heat ..

Because it seems to me that ..

I say, are you listening?
