The Girl Downstairs Page #5

How quickly

can you get dressed?

Dressed?

Yes, we're going out.

Oh, that's fine.

I'll just put on a hat

and my jade bracelet.

I'm perfectly serious.

It's not very late.

Well, it would be

by the time I got dressed.

Rosalind,

I'm disappointed in you.

Here I'm willing

to risk my life.

Shh!

You've got to be quiet.

Do you think

we should elope?

What for?

What for?

So we can meet

whenever we want to.

Listen, I have a perfect right

to see you

And nobody's

going to stop me.

Tomorrow?

Yes, for cocktails.

At my apartment

at 5:
00 tomorrow.

Yes.

Till then.

And don't wake father

going out!

that you, rosalind?

Anything the matter?

no, fa-

Paul? Paul?

Here I am.

Oh.

I left you in the dark,

didn't I?

There.

Well, I think perhaps

I'd better be going.

Going?

But you were hungry.

That's right.

I was, wasn't I?

Those are lovely flowers.

Where did you get them?

They fell to me

from heaven.

Do things come to you often

that way?

Just the flowers...

And you.

Look, katerina -

You have nice eyes, paul -

good eyes.

That's why

I let you come in here.

Why,

I like you very much.

Katerina,

I'd better go now.

Thanks for

a delightful evening.

Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown.

Good morning, mr. Brown.

Your bath is ready.

Ah!

Thank you, hugo.

Lovely morning.

Yes, sir.

Ah -

Who is it?

Mr. Brown:
It's me.

Oh!

Good morning, father.

Rosalind,

what is the meaning of this?

Oh, it isn't a bit good of him,

is it?

Good of him?

Who cares wh-

That puppy was in my room

last night.

Oh, but why didn't you

let me know?

Well, you see, rosalind -

let you know?

What do you mean,

"let you know?"

I didn't know it myself

until this morning.

Oh, then it really wasn't

your fault, was it?

My fault? Oh!

My fault.

Rosalind, we must

come to an understanding.

I'm going out of my mind.

Well, it's all very simple,

father,

If you'll just

listen a moment.

Oh, well, go on, rosalind.

Go on.

It's merely this -

Paul and I like seeing

each other and dancing together,

And there's no reason on earth

why we shouldn't.

You're not

in love with this fellow?

Well, if I am,

it's all your fault.

My fault?

I think I made it quite clear

as to how I feel.

That's just it.

You're being medieval.

However, I'll tell him again

this afternoon to make sure.

We're having cocktails.

Cocktail - what?

That man is not

coming into this house again.

I took care of that, father.

It's at his apartment.

Ap- ap- apartment?!

Oh!

I'll stop your allowance.

All right. Go ahead.

You'll not

get out of this house.

I'll have you watched.

But you will come to

the wedding, won't you, father?

The wedding?

What wedding?

You're practically forcing me
