:15:02
-But why d!d you g!ve them to me?
-l wanted to.
:15:06
Am l called on to f!nd reasons?
:15:11
Opals are unlucky, aren't they?
:15:14
l prefer unlucky th!ngs.
:15:16
Luck !s vulgar.
Who wants what luck would br!ng? l don't.
:15:20
They can be made a l!ttle b!gger.
:15:23
Yes.
:15:25
l'm glad you bought them.
:15:30
Won't !t be lovely, go!ng home !n the dark?
:15:34
l prom!sed to go to Shortlands ton!ght
to have d!nner w!th Gerald.
:15:37
-lt doesn't matter, you can go tomorrow.
-Herm!one's there.
:15:41
She's go!ng away !n a couple of days.
l suppose l ought to say goodbye to her.
:15:47
-You don't m!nd, do you?
-No, why should l m!nd?
:15:50
Well, that's what l asked myself.
Why should you m!nd?
:15:54
-But you seem to.
-l assure you, l don't m!nd !n the least.
:15:58
lf that's where you feel you belong,
then that's where you must go.
:16:02
You are a fool, w!th your,
''That's where you belong.''
:16:06
lt's all f!n!shed between Herm!one and me.
:16:09
She seems to mean more to you than to me.
:16:11
l'm not taken !n by your word tw!st!ng.
:16:13
lf you st!ll feel you belong to Herm!one,
then you do, that's all.
:16:17
But you don't belong to me.
:16:18
lf you weren't a fool, you'd know
one can be decent, and wrong.
:16:22
lt was wrong of me to go on all that t!me
w!th her, !t was a deathly process.
:16:26
But after all,
one can have a l!ttle human decency.
:16:28
But you must tear my soul out, w!th your
jealousy at the ment!on of her name.
:16:32
l, jealous?
She means noth!ng to me, not that!
:16:37
lt's what she stands for that l hate.
:16:39
Her l!es and her falseness!
:16:43
lt's death!
:16:44
But you want !t, you can't help yourself.
Well, then, you go and get !t!
:16:48
That's what l say, but don't come to me!
:16:51
l've got noth!ng to do w!th !t!
:16:54
You're a fool!
:16:56
Yes, l am a fool.
:16:59
And thank God for !t!
