So Evil My Love Page #4

---

Don't you want to see it?

I've told you. No.

It's almost finished.

I never want to see it.

Come here!

I want to know what you think.

Once when I was a girl

This is the way I thought I was.

I really haven't done you justice.

Your eyes are deeper

Your skin is whiter.

But I have got your carriage.

The way you hold your head way up.

That's rather good don't you think?

Do you really see me like that?

You are like that.

You jest.

The girl who gave it to me in Jamaica

Had been married in it.

She said it would make me happy and gay.

Has it?

I never dared to try in on till now.

Well, how to you like yourself?

Olivia!

Olivia!

Why did you have to paint me like that?

Why?

I paint only what I feel and what I know.

It was deliberately cruel.

Deliberate, yes. Cruel, no.

My life was to be rich

and full and complete.

I planned it all when I was young.

Oh, you wouldn't have

known me when I at school.

I was the leader of everything

I danced the best. I even looked the best.

Why did you have to bring it all back to me?

Everything that I wanted to be.

Everything!

Time lost.

I don't know why I'm talking like this.

I want to know about you, Olivia.

I want to know all about you.

Don't.

You're not afraid of me.

You're afraid of yourself.

You're sure the pictures

are going to be crated?

How else would they travel?

Well, I shall pray desperately for fog.

It's helpful, but not vital.

You know actually I shall be doing

England a great public favor

By getting rid of the monstrosities.

History will thank me.

Only if history knows the truth about you.

In which case..

In which case I and my pictures

will hang together.

Charming thought.

Getting nervous, Edgar?

Relax.

The police have long since

given up looking for me.

And as far as they're concerned

Minton street might just

as well be in Australia.

Relax.

The immediate future

Seems to me dark and forbidding.

Stand just where you are gentlemen.

We'll relieve the caretaker of his keys.

And we'll lock these gentlemen in.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

But it's unavoidable.

Now, get over there!

You too!

You can't do that..

Get quiet.

It'll save a lot of unpleasantness.

Don't shoot you fool!

Run for it!

It's nearly three o'clock.

I brought your lunch.

Leave it.

Mark.

Yes.

You were out all night.

Where did you go?

I couldn't sleep, so I went walking.

Why didn't you call me?

Why should I?

I heard you come in.

It was after six.

I couldn't sleep until you came in.

Sorry.

What is it, Mark?

We're out of luck, Olivia.

Something I'd depended on

Has fallen through.

Well only temporary I'm sure.

No, permanently this time.

I haven't any money. No prospect of any.
