Bank Holiday Page #4

Some people seem to think

they bought the train!

- Geoff, didn't you notice this was a first?

- They stay where they are.

- You'll be caught by the inspector.

- Listen...

do you think l'd take you third

on an occasion like this?

Darling, l wish you wouldn't

pull me and push me about.

Sorry.

- Did you actually get first-class tickets?

- l thought it would please you.

- Whatever l did would be wrong.

- No, Geoff, it was sweet of you.

- Don't be bad-tempered. What's the matter?

- lt's not me, it's you.

You haven't been yourself

since we met.

And after hanging about

all that time for you...

- You wouldn't even kiss me properly.

- Oh, Geoff, l did.

lt's all turning out

so different to what l expected.

You don't seem a bit thrilled

about going away together at last.

l know, Geoff, but the case upset me.

- The girl died.

- Oh. Oh, l am sorry.

l ought to have cottoned on

it was something like that.

l suppose l'm selfish,

but you know how it is, Cath.

l've been looking forward

to this for months now.

l've thought of nothing else for weeks past.

l've saved up every penny so that

we could stay somewhere decent

because l want to give you

a really grand time, Cath.

Oh, gosh, l am happy to be alone with you.

Just think of it, the whole weekend

to forget the hospital, the office and...

just think about our two selves.

You know, it worries me that the work

at the hospital is so hard for you.

lt's marvellous the way you stick it.

But l promise that...

Cath, you're not listening.

Yes, l am. l heard every word you said.

No, you were thinking

about something else.

No, l wasn't.

(Letterbox clatters)

l didn't half have a business

with Mother and Dad!

Said l was going camping

with a chap from the office.

- Did they believe you?

- l think so. Then Dad said

it was funny to go camping

in these clothes.

- Do you think they suspected?

- Who cares anyway?

Would they get a shock

if they could see me in that big hotel?

Geoff, you haven't told me

when you stayed in a big hotel before.

- Are you sure it wasn't with some girl?

- My word of honour.

l'm about the only chap

at the office who hasn't, l can tell you that.

- Really?

- Cath, l didn't mean it like that.

lt's just that

l'm so worked up about everything.

- That you're doing this for me.

- What are you talking about?

- l wouldn't come if l didn't want to.

- l know.

But what people would say about you...

- Do you mind what they say?

- l don't mind if you don't.

Geoff, we've been over this scores of times.

You know l think we're justified.

Of course, when...when two people

love each other... Cath, you do love me?

What's that?

ls Nurse Catharine there?
