Separate Tables Page #4

Sh... darling.

Conventions and marriage...

I don't want to end up like them.

Will you shut up?

They'll hearyou.

I've figured it all out.

Life isn't meant to be dreary,

it's meant to be exciting.

Will you shut up?

Bed.

I'm on... I'm on the trickiest duct

in the whole human body.

Now, please...

Bed.

Come on.

Good... good night, ladies.

Good night. Sleep tight.

Surely, a somewhat

unnecessary remark, Gladys, dear.

Oh, They're... They're old friends.

Th-they'rejust here to study.

That's what they told Miss Cooper.

I think it most unwise of her

to have them here.

Even at opposite ends of the corridor.

Quite obvious they were making love.

How do you know?

He was putting a handkerchief away

with lipstick on it.

Oh, well, perhaps they are in love.

So why don't they say so?

I hate anything furtive.

Now, what were we talking about?

Oh, good gracious.

Oh, please shut that door,

there's a most terrible draft.

A draft?

Bless my soul, so therejolly well is.

- He's so amusing.

- He's drunk.

A brilliant observation,

Mrs... Railton-Bell. Brilliant.

- I'm sure she didn't mean...

- Oh, tut, tut, tut, lady Matheson.

It's nice to have a champion, thank you.

But she's right. Irish whiskey.

Hello, Sibyl,

how are you this evening?

Fine.

But if it hadn't been forthe Irish whiskey,

I'd have never broken my record.

I made it back here

from the bar at the Feathers

in 6 minutes flat, instead of the usual 10.

Of course, I had the wind at the back.

But as you and I know,

Mrs... Railton-Bell,

we cannot deny

the propulsive powers of Irish whiskey.

Now, scotch, on the other hand...

Mr. Malcolm, did you come in

through the French windows?

Miss Cooper, I cannot tell a lie.

You knowthat is strictly

forbidden after 7:00.

I'm sorry, I... I'd forgotten.

There's mud all overthe floor.

Will you please hang this

in the proper place.

Yes, Ma'am.

Also, wipe yourfeet in the mat

provided forthat purpose.

Yes, Ma'am.

I'm so sorry.

I shall see this doesn't happen again.

I must say, quite frankly, Miss Cooper,

I've never understood

how you could tolerate such boorishness,

and have done all this time.

In a hotel, one must

tolerate all sorts of things.

I suppose so.

But one hardly expects to find

that kind of person in this kind of hotel.

Why he should have selected

the beauregard as a permanent residence

is quite beyond me.

He was stationed near here

during the war, I believe.

He used to stay here then.

Ah, he writes very nicely.

I read an article of this once,

Just out of curiosity. It was about labor.

Have you ever read...

I have no curiosity

about the working classes.

- How many have you had?
