Women in Love Page #6

rather go across to the house?

Ooh, can't we have a rowing boat

and get out?

Get out?

Well, you see, we know hardly anyone

here. We're almost complete strangers.

Oh...

Oh, I'll see to it that you're set up with...

a few acquaintances.

Oh, you know what I mean.

Can't we go over there and explore?

The light is so perfect,

perhaps we could bathe.

It reminds one

of the upper reaches of the Nile.

- Well, as one imagines the Nile. Hello.

- Hello!

Do you think it's far enough off?

Yes, I suppose you could go there.

Unfortunately, we don't seem

to have any...more boats.

- They're all out now.

- Oh, it would be so lovely.

Do you handle a boat pretty well?

- Pretty well...

- Yes.

We both row like water spiders.

Then there's a small light canoe of mine

I didn't bring out,

for fear somebody

would drown themselves.

Do you think you'll be safe in that?

You see, I'm responsible for this water.

I had a canoe at Arundel.

I can assure you, I'm perfectly safe.

Then I shall see to it that you're given...

a tea basket.

And you can have a picnic

all to yourselves.

That is the idea, isn't it?

How fearfully good.

How frightfully nice of you.

Behind the rock.

Shh...

Come on. It's muddy.

Are you happy, Prune?

Ursula...I am utterly, utterly happy!

So am I.

Pretty bubbles in the air

They fly so high

Nearly reach the sky

Then like my dreams

they fade and die

Fortune's always hiding

I've looked everywhere

For I'm forever blowing bubbles

Pretty bubbles...in...the air

...Pretty bubbles in the air

They fly so high

Nearly reach the sky

Then like my dreams

they fade and die

Fortune's always hiding

I looked everywhere

But I'm forever blow...

Aren't they...charming, Ursula?

Charming?

Won't they do anything to us?

Oh, I'm sure they won't.

I'm frightened.

Keep singing.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I think we've all gone mad.

Pity we aren't madder.

Oh, you beautiful doll

You great, big beautiful doll

Let me put my arms around you

Why have you come?

And why do you want to drive them mad?

They're nasty when they turn.

Turn where?

Turn against you.

Turn against me?

Well, anyway, they gored one of the

farmer's cows to death, the other day.

- What do I care?

- I care.

Seeing they're my cattle.

How are they yours?

You haven't swallowed them.

Give me one of them. Now!

You know where they are.

Ah...

You think I'm...frightened of you

and your...cattle, don't you?

Why should I think that?

That's why.

You struck the first blow.

And I shall strike the last!

Why are you behaving in this...

impossible and ridiculous fashion?

You...

...make me behave like this.

Me?
