Of Human Bondage Page #3

She's got a cap and apron on.

Is that supposed to be me?

Do you like it?

I didn't know you could draw. I

thought you was a medical student.

I was an art student

in Paris for two years.

Now you're cutting people up.

You may keep it if you like.

It's no use to me.

Could I have a look at the

picture you done of miss Rogers?

Is that her name?

Miss Rogers?

Mildred, yes.

Mister, it's the living image

of her! Could you do one of me?

Don't you do it. They'll all

be wanting you to do them.

Thank you, Mildred.

Oh.

I see you know my name.

It happens to be miss Rogers.

You're not a bad sort,

really, miss Rogers.

Who said I was?

Good afternoon,

Mr. Miller.

Would you dine with me one night?

Why?

Oh, I don't know.

We... We could dine,

And I will take you to

see the belle of new York.

Belle of new York?

Yes, or anything else

you'd like to see.

I'd get a couple of

stalls. Will you come?

I don't mind.

When? When

will you come?

I get off early on Tuesdays.

This Tuesday?

I don't mind.

I'll get us stalls.

Stalls.

That'd mean evening dress.

Oh, no. Anything

you'd like to wear.

Well, I've got one!

Good. Wear it.

I have to go home

to put it on, though.

Where?

Hern hill.

What about dinner?

I can get a bite at home.

All right. We'll

have supper then.

I'll have to get the 11:25 train.

I have to get up in the morning.

Oh, we'll see.

No, we won't.

Suppers make you dream.

Do they?

The manageress is staring

right at me. I've got to go now.

Going back to your

laughing friend?

If I met you at the theater,

would it be convenient?

Convenient? Of course.

The Shaftesbury?

The Shaftesbury theatre Tuesday.

Buttered scone.

Are you enjoying it?

The belle of new York?

Well, I've seen it 7 times,

And I could go 7 times more.

My sides always ache

from laughing so much.

I didn't know you'd

seen it before.

I could have

taken you to a play.

I said I could see it

again and again.

Besides, I don't like plays.

Oh, more champagne.

You are going it, aren't you?

Do you like fizz?

Oh, I don't mind.

A long life.

Ha ha!

Not too long, I hope.

Never want to look like some

of these old women around here.

It's disgusting, these west end

people with all their false hair.

Well, perhaps it

isn't all false.

Mine's all my own,

every bit of it.

I'm sure it is.

You get to know some things about

life working in a shop like I do.

I'm sure you do.

My family's very

well-Connected.

Of course. Ha ha!

What are you laughing at?

Don't you believe I'm

telling you the truth?

Of course I do.

You say that as though

you was leading me on.

I'm sorry.

You needn't be. I don't pretend

to know all about everything.
