The Lady Eve Page #4

- I'm awfully sorry about this.

- Beeswax, my boy, beeswax.

- Good night, Jeanie.

- Good night, darling.

- He's a nice fellow, your father.

- He's a good card player too.

You think so?

I don't want to be rude,

- but he seemed a little uneven.

- He's more uneven sometimes than others.

That's what makes him uneven.

But now you, on the other hand,

with a little coaching,

you could be terrific.

- Do you really think so?

- Yes, you have a definite nose.

I'm glad you like it.

Do you like any of the rest of me?

Oh, what I meant was

in the card-playing sense...

I know what you meant.

I was just flirting with you.

Oh.

You're not going to faint,

are you?

Who, me?

Uh, it's that perfume.

Oh.

Do you think they're

dancing anyplace on board?

Don't you think

we ought to go to bed?

You're certainly a funny girl

for anybody to meet...

who's just been up

the Amazon for a year.

Good thing you weren't

up there two years.

Come on.

Good night.

- I'm afraid we're on the wrong deck.

- Isn't that a coincidence?

- For heaven's sake, here's my cabin.

- Fantastic!

Would you care to come in and see Emma?

That's a new one, isn't it?

- Shh. I don't want to wake her up.

- Wake who up?

- Emma.

- Emma? I thought that was just a gag.

Technically,

she's a Columbrina Marzditzia,

which seems to be a rare type

of Brazilian glass snake, which I'm...

- A snake!

- She seems to have got out again.

- She's out?

- Well, don't worry.

She's around here someplace.

- Let me out of here!

- Oh, don't be frightened.

She's as playful as a kitten.

You mustn't really...

Don't do that!

How's that going...

I'm sorry. I wouldn't have frightened

you for anything in the world.

- Why didn't you tell me...

- I thought you understood.

How could I understand? Why should

I suspect an apparently civilized man...

- Please.

- Oh. Look under the bed.

- How could she possibly get down here?

- Please!

- Oh, all right.

- Please.

- Oh!

- It's just a stocking.

If you see any more, just leave

them there. Now, look in the bed.

- In the bed? How could she possibly...

- Oh, go on now.

- You know how fast we came down,

i i

so you can magne...

- Oh!

It's nothing, but it might

have given you a shock.

- Nothing like a cold hot water bottle.

- Oh!

They would have had

to bury me at sea.

Come over here and sit down

beside me. Oh.

- Comfortable?

- Yes, very.

Oh, sorry.

Hold me tight.

Oh, you don't know

what you've done to me.

I'm terribly sorry.

Oh, that's all right.

I wouldn't have frightened you

for anything in the world.

I mean, if there's anyone

in the world I wouldn't have wanted to,

it's you.

You're very sweet.
