"Oh Mr. Blake." "North Pole has nothing on this" "Been up the mountain ?" "No, I just walked over from my I bungalow" "Shall I arrange that you take some skiing lessons, Mr. Blake ?" "Me on skis ?" "No, thank you." "My doctor sent me up here for a rest... not to join that casualty list." "Hey !" "Who's that girl ?" "That's Borg." "The best skiing isntructor we've got." "Perhaps I can arrange something else for you, Mr. Blake." "Bobsledding, or perhaps a sleighride." "What about skiing ?" "But you just said..." "There's only one sport for me." "That's skiing." "There she is, Mr. Blake." "No, no." "Bend your knees." "Wait here, Mr. Blake." "Next." "Karin, I'll take over your class." "Why ?" "Mr. Lawrence Blake wants special instructions." "Congratulations." "Who is Mr. Lawrence Blake ?" "Big shot." "Editor of Times and Currents." "He asked especially for you." "Stop it !" "Hey !" "Stop the motors." "Stop it !" "Let me down !" "Back it up." "Hey !" "Didn't know that skiing was a hanging offense." "I'm Lawrence Blake." "My name is Borg." "How do you do ?" "I wanna study with you." "Have you had instructions ?" "No, I'm virgin brown... you can do with me what you will." "I'm in your hands." "Well, first thing you must learn is balance." "Listen, can't we go away from all these people where we can be cozy and talk ?" "I teach skiing and I take it seriously." "Oh, I'm very serious." "But the crowd makes me selfconscious." "All right." "We'll go to the top." "Chair." "That one looks more comfortable." "No, no." "Watch me." "Climb this way." "The herring bone." "Spread your skis more." "Take larger steps." "What do we do when we get to the top ?" "We come down." "That seems pointless." "You go up you come down." "Where does it get you ?" "If you don't want to ski you'd better go back to the hotel and make other arrangements." "Oh, but I do." "I do." "As soon as I thaw out." "How about a drink ?" "Thank you, I don't drink." "Never ?" "Never." "How do you keep warm ?" "It's very stimulating." "I get my stimulation from the outdoors." "How about a cigarette ?" "No, thank you." "You don't smoke either ?" "No." "Now look here, Miss Borg." "This afternoon you instruct me, but tonight I'll instruct you." "First we'll go dancing, then..." "I don't dance." "You don't." "No." "You must do something." "I ski." "Curl out your skis." "Mr. Blake !" "Where are you ?" "Well ?" "We covered every foot of the the north slope." "Not a sign of them." "Any word of him ?" "Mr. Miller ?" "Yes, is there any word of him ?" "People in the hotel know ?" "It's beginning to get around." "No, not yet." "This is Miss Ellis." "His secretary." "It mustn't get out." "If there's any publicity about it this will be terrible." "He didn't rob a bank." "He just got lost." "Wait a minute." "I'll carry you over the threshold." "It's traditional." "The last time I walked out of this house I didn't know you." "Do you realize that ?" "Mr. Blake will want special instructions." "I looked up and there you were." "The moment I saw you I knew I wanted special instructions." "The moment I saw you I knew I wanted to give them to you." "Mr. Blake, you're back !" "As I live and breathe." "Miss Ellis !" "Mr. Miller, he's back !" "Where in Hades have you been ?" "We thought you were lost." "Even dead !" "I'd never die without letting you know." "What have you got there ?" "My skiing instructor." "He's a woman." "You guessed it." "Do you mind if I put you down, darling ?" "This is my secretary, Miss Ellis." "How do you do ?" "How do you do." "And that disgruntled looking gentleman, is my partner O.O. Miller." "How do you..." "Yes." "We've been going crazy, we got all the police after you... really, Larry, this is too much !" "What sort of a guide are you anyway ?" "I got him back didn't I ?" "Before you start denouncing her I think I should tell you she's not only my guide" "She's also my wife." "Your wife ?" "What do you mean your wife ?" "Larry, we forgot the luggage in the car." "I'll get it." "I'll go with you." "What are you talking about, your wife ?" "What do you mean ?" "You should be the first to congratulate her." "That is if you congratulate us." "Congratulations !" "Thank you." "That's wonderful !" "You've used the exact word, Miss Ellis." "Wonderful." "What's wonderful about it ?" "Tell me are you really married ?" "Are you entirely married ?" "Just for our lifetimes." "How could a thing like that happen ?" "He got snowed in." "If you got snowed in with Karin, I think you'd get married too." "I promise you I'll never let him get lost again." "This is no time for joking." "You don't know what we've been through." "I'm a wreck !" "Stay here for a few weeks." "Try skiing." "Try getting snowed in." "Just listen to Karin and you'll realize the wonder and the beauty of life out here." "How's New York ?" "How's the magazine ?" "How's the universe ?" "I can tell you it's vibrating with happiness." "Karin, can you hear it vibrating ?" "I can hear it distinctly." "We thought you were lost forever." "I am." "Sweet." "Let me look at you in civilized surroundings." "Will I survive ?" "With a margin." "Never saw anyone like her before." "yes you did, once." "Did we spend the night in a motel ?" "Where ?" "Don't you remember the motel where we spent the night ?" "That's right, we did." "Darling." "I don't want to interrupt this travelogue but I want very much to know......" "Karin, let me tell you about O.O. Salt of the earth, heart of gold." "We certainly did." "Thinks I'm crazy." "I often suspect he's right." "Teach him to ski." "Would you like to ski, Mr. O.O. ?" "I have no desire to ski." "I nearly killed myself learning." "Went over a treem through a ravine..." "Still I believe I made progress." "Karin, didn't I make progress ?" "He married the teacher." "Is that progress ?" "You know when I first had the idea ?" "Do you know when ?" "No." "When I got tangled up with you and that confounded Silverette." "Yes, you curled out when you should have curled in." "No, this is exactly what I did." "Your position is wrong now." "Look." "I can't see what's wrong with it." "It kills your balance." "Bend your knees." "Gosh it was cold in that snow till I realized you were there.." "It was then, ladies and gentlemen, that I realized this was the woman I loved." "What do you do in the summertime ?" "I wait for the winter." "Where do you live ?" "That's right, Karin." "Where do you live ?" "You mean to say you don't know ?" "I haven't the faintest idea." "But I'm very much interested." "Where do you live ?" "In my trailer." "When I find a lovely place I park and stay." "The world is full of lovely places." "Isn't she wonderful ?" "That reminds me." "I don't know any of your vital statistics." "Where were you born ?" "How old are you ?" "Any brothers or sisters ?" "Did you have the measles ?" "How much income tax did you pay last year ?" "You really have the right to ask me all these personal questions." "We must manage to find a quiet evening together some time." "Yes, dear, just to talk." "I do hope you manage that." "In the meantime may I ask have you thought of all our business in NY ?" "I hope things have gone bad so I can be brilliantly critical." "Has he told you about our reorganization ?" "What is it that's being reorganized ?" "Don't you know he has great responsibilities in NY ?" "He's giving them up." "What ?" "We're going to settle down to a quiet life here." "Larry wants to write." "I shall burst a blood vessel." "Don't do that." "Please don't." "Larry, let's go to bed." "Griselda's on the phone..." "Miss Vaughan." "Griselda ?" "Yes, Griselda." "Oh, Griselda." "Give her an inkling." "I'll fill in the details." "You got it the first time." "You go on upstairs, darling." "I'll be up in a minute." "Our first separation." "I'll miss you." "Bye, darling." "Good bye, dear." "Good night, Miss Ellis." "See you in the morning." "Yes." "Like her ?" "Very much, she's lovely." "I can't keep Griselda off any longer." "Did you give her an inkling ?" "It's your bed, you lie in it." "Hello, Griselda, my pet." "Hello, Larry." "It's not your ghost ?" "Oh, no, you can't kill me off." "How've you been ?" "Oh, don't keep asking about me." "I haven't been given up for lost in the Arctic." "It's you I want to hear about, darling." "I want you to take a plane and come right home." "We... haven't quite decided yet." "Who's we ?" "Are you there ?" "Who's we, darling ?" "My wife and I. What ?" "The fact is, Griselda, I'm married." "Married ?" "Married ?" "Hoe delightful, Larry." "Anyone you know ?" "She's my skiing instructor." "A ski instructor ?" "How refreshing." "Trust you to do the unexpected." "Well, darling..." "As I had given you up for lost, I'm terribly grateful for your return." "Married or not married." "Thank you, Griselda." "I hope she doesn't keep you on skis forever." "Well, darling..." "I wish passionately that I were the bride but... fortunes of war and all that sort of thing." "Come back to us soon." "Good bye, darling." "Bless you." "Good bye, my pet." "Great girl, Griselda." "Doesn't make scenes." "Really civilized." "Well, boys and girls, tralala, I suppose." "I'm fresh as a daisy." "Are you really ?" "Hm-hmmm." "Miss Ellis, you look tired." "Yes !" "I'm exhausted." "So am I, see you in the morning." "Good night." "I don't wish to intrude on this neverneverland of yours... but there's a publication in NY called Tides and Currents." "Are you interested ?" "No tonight." "In NY we lose all the sense of proportion." "Can't see the forest with the trees." "I'm through with it all." "Out here in the great open spaces you..." "What kind of a cover is that anyway ?" "Oil wells on fire in Mesopotamia." "It was McAllister's idea." "It's not an idea, it's a disaster." "It'll..." "I won't let it irritate me." "Good night." "But it does irritate me." "What are we getting out, a newsreal ?" "If ever I saw a dud." "You can't run a magazine from the top of Mount Everest." "Either you edit or you ski." "Its a polling." "Nothing but statistics." "There's no sex appeal in statistics." "Why didn't you let me know what was going on ?" "How ?" "By semaphore ?" "I've got an idea for a new series." "A new series." "Cross-section of a different key city in every issue." "I'm gonna get back, I can see that." "There's a plane at 10 a.m." "We'll make it." "I'll give you notes in the plane." "Good night." "Is that you ?" "Hm-hmm." "Throw me my pajamas, will you ?" "What ?" "Oh." "Who is this Griselda ?" "A playwrite." "I invested in her productions." "You forgot the top." "Huh ?" "My pajama top." "Oh, all right." "Is she part of your past ?" "Who ?" "Griselda." "In a way." "Do you mind ?" "If she doesn't interrupt my future." "Hello." "Huh ?" "I just said hello." "Err... hello." "What's the matter ?" "Why ?" "Wrinkles on your forehead." "Are they gone ?" "Yes." "What's the matter ?" "What's all this you're doing ?" "I happened to see this issue of my magazine I didn't like." "Let them get out their own magazine." "I have a feeling it's awfully late." "I have the same feeling." "I wish I'd never seen the magazine." "I only hope I can help you live the way you said you always wanted to live." "Simply and quietly." "And to write the things you never had the chance to write." "And then..." "Oh... are you going somewhere ?" "Definitely." "To bed." "Do you always get dressed up like a bird of paradise just to get to bed ?" "Invariably." "The desert and the rose." "Sacred and profane love." "I can't wait to show you off in NY." "What are you talking about ?" "We're going to NY." "When ?" "In the morning." "Why ?" "I'm getting back to work." "You're not serious." "I'm afraid I am." "But you told me so often you wanted to give that up, that you hate the magazine." "Did I say that ?" "A hundred times." "I'm liable to say all sorts of things at different times." "You mustn't always go by what I say." "Aren't you cold ?" "If I cannot go by what you say, what can I go by ?" "Your instinct." "You mean that ?" "Not entirely." "It's a half truth." "I don't like half truths." "But my dearest, my wonderful one, all life's a half truth." "A compromise." "Not my life." "Darling, I can't go on skiing forever." "I came here for a holiday, I've had my holiday, now I go back to my real holiday, which is work." "You see, I'm at the mercy of my timetable." "So you were on a vacation and now the vacation is over." "Karin, don't talk nonsense." "Larry, you asked me to help you towards a new way of life." "But I've always wanted a new way of life." "Doesn't mean I can always get it." "It means that I want it." "Please, Larry, I can't bear to sleep with the windows closed." "But it's blowing a gale in here." "We seem to disagree about everything suddenly." "What good am I to you ?" "Let me be the best judge of that." "When all these things you've been saying to me aren't true." "They were when I said them." "Don't play me down, darling, makes me uncomfortable." "I see." "And don't reproach me." "That makes me more uncomfortable still." "I see." "Anyway, we're going to NY in the morning." "You didn't even ask me if I wanted to go." "What do you suggest ?" "What's your alternative ?" "We might have decided that together." "Well, we're deciding it now." "Come on let's go to bed." "We have to make that 10 o'clock plane in the morning." "I'm not going." "We're leaving at 10." "Are you ordering me ?" "Yes, I'm ordering you." "I'm afraid I have to disobey you." "What do you want me to do ?" "At least say that you wanted to, simply." "Simplicity is a steady diet." "It would be a bore." "What's the matter now ?" "Some day you will say that of me too." "She's a bore." "And how do you know that, may I ask ?" "By instinct." "So, never trust your instinct." "It'll mislead you." "It has already." "Well, I'm going to sleep." "Good night." "Darling, I'm sorry." "It's awful to quarrel." "I can't stand it either." "Darling," "All right ?" "Better." "Darling." "All right ?" "Yes, darling." "Forgive me ?" "Forgive you ?" "There !" "Oh, no, you'll be cold." "I'll freeze for you." "I will stifle for you." "Love me ?" "If you won't order me about like a big executive." "Just one more order." "Kiss me." "We've only got an hour before the plane leaves." "You'd better go upstairs and tell them to hurry." "I knocked a little while ago, no answer." "One thing in the world I hate is a sound sleeper." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Isn't it a beautiful day ?" "How are you, Mr. Miller ?" "On pins and needles." "Where's that husband of yours ?" "Sleeping, I imagine." "I've been up since 6." "Nobody gets up at 6." "It was glorious." "I walked to the market." "Look at these beautiful fruits." "I have tried different places and different jobs but I can't imagine enything better than this." "It seems to me this country around here has everything." "Even pineapples." "Look." "The tropics in the snow." "I hate raw fruit." "I love them." "I have some slow porridge cooking." "Larry loves it." "What's the matter with the hotel food ?" "You know hotel food, Mr. Miller." "Besides, it's very expensive." "They just rob you in these places." "You don't have to worry about that." "Your husband makes an enormous income." "He won't now." "What ?" "Where is Larry ?" "He's slower than the porridge." "We've got to make that plane." "Larry's not going to NY." "He changed his mind again ?" "Yes, he changed it." "Some porridge ?" "I hate porridge." "Try it." "It's very healthy." "I don't want to be healthy." "Larry has got to come with us." "There are important decisions to be made." "Can't you make them, Mr. Miller ?" "I'm sure you can." "No, I can't." "Larry has got to." "But he can't go." "Why can't he ?" "Because we're going swimming." "Good morning." "Good morning." "You're not going to travel in those !" "Travel ?" "Look here, Larry." "Are you coming with us or aren't you ?" "Why, yes." "Of course I am." "We both are." "Darling, I thought this was all settled last night." "I thought it was all settled that we were staying." "I loved this porridge..." "Thank you so much." "Can't you two get together on the plane ?" "Please get ready." "We've only got 5 minutes." "You said last night you'd never give me another order." "Well I'm giving you another order." "Go and get ready." "I give you 5 minutes to change your clothes and make that plane." "I'm going swimming." "How dare you interfere with my plans." "What about my plans ?" "Your plans don't amount to much." "After yesterday you said they meant everything to you." "Will you please stop quoting what I said to you before yesterday." "It drives me crazy." "Karin, get this straight." "It may sound pompous to say it but my plans are important." "My position is important" "Over 3 million people read my magazine weekly and I decide its policy." "That's much more important than anything you can possibly say." "You want to ski I'll get you a job in the sports department in Sak's Fifth Avenue." "I see." "What do you see ?" "I see that there are two of you." "Don't talk riddles." "There's the poetic young man who wants to live a simple life... and Napoleon." "I prefer the poetic young man." "He's the one I married." "Is the debate over ?" "Oh, excuse me." "Goodbye, Mr. Miller." "Goodbye, Ms. Ellis." "Pleasant journey." "Goodbye, Mrs. Blake." "I know perfectly well what you're both thinking." "My wife is capricious and unreasonable." "But I want to tell you it's just the reverse." "It's I who's capricious and unreasonable." "You won't get an argument with me over that." "I married her under false pretenses, that's what I did." "I deluded her into thinking I was an idealist." "Instead of an ambitious moneygrubber like you." "Don't drag me into it." "This is on your hands." "She has a perfect right to be disillusioned." "He's impossible." "He's in love." "Karin, darling." "Yes ?" "Please come over here where I can talk to you." "Very well." "Are you still lingering ?" "Those 3 million readers will be drifting around with no policy to guide them." "Now look here, Karin." "After all, I'm just a skiing instructor, Don't let me detain you." "Darling, you're wrong." "I'm not angry any more." "Aren't you ?" "No." "How is one to know ?" "I'm telling you." "Well, I am angry." "I'll never forget what you said to me just now." "I said I was sorry." "That's very generous." "Don't be sarcastic." "It irritates me." "I won't be sarcastic if you won't be patronizing." "Darling, I love you." "Look out, I'm wet." "No, you're nice and warm." "I love you." "Oh, I love you so." "I love you." "Goodbye, nature lover." "I'm off." "Wait a minute." "When I stand close to you, I feel like..." "Don't promise anything because you know you won't keep it." "You have the most extraordinary faculty for saying the wrong thing at the wrong moment." "Well I don't pick my moments." "I can only tell you what I feel." "You seem to know more about me than I do myself." "I'm slowly learning." "Everything becomes such a gigantic problem with you..." "I really haven't time for it." "Well go then." "I'm not keeping you." "Well how long am I to wait ?" "I hope when I get back I'll find you in a better mood." "So you're coming back, are you ?" "Yes." "When I'm in a better mood." "Don't go back." "It's fatal." "Ah, vous êtes charmante !" "Délicieuse." "Miss Ellis !" "Hello, Miss Ellis." "Mrs. Blake." "Mrs. Blake !" "How nice of you to come so promptly." "Here I find myself all dressed up and not a penny to pay for it." "Don't worry about that." "I'll take it up with Mme. Claudel and he won't know a thing about it until you want him to." "He doesn't suspect anything, does he ?" "As far as he knows, you're still on skis." "I called the hotel and Mr. Blake is not at home." "He's gone to the 43rd St. Theater." "Where is that ?" "43rd St." "It's just around the corner." "Thank you." "Why don't you wait till he gets to the hotel ?" "I've waited so long I can't hold it another minute." "If I was you I wouldn't surprise him at the theater." "I not only want to surprise him, I want to see him." "Goodbye." "I'll call you later." "Goodbye, Madame." "Au revoir, madame, mon plaisir de vous revoir..." "Je suis ravie que vous soyez contente." "Enchantée, chère madame." "Hello, get me the 43rs St. Theater, please." "And quickly." "Sorry, lady." "I have instructions not to interrupt rehearsals." "There will be a break in a little while." "What more natural than these two successes should..." "I'm so sorry, Miss Dunbar." "Who's there ?" "Always vague characters floating around the theater." "Go back a bit." "Better give up the fight, darling." "You and I are inevitable." "Yield to the inevitable." "It's no use." "I can't go on." "I gag every time I come to that line." "The audience will hate me !" "If you play it with poise instead of hysterically you'll get far better results." "But I don't feel it." "How can I play it when I don't feel it ?" "I don't care whether you feel it or not." "So long as you make me feel you feel it." "Poise, Miss Dunbar." "Remember, this woman never loses her poise." "You think a woman can make a man fall in love with her the way you've written me in this scene ?" "Definitely." "You explain it to her, Larry." "Mr. Blake, you're a man of the world, would you fall in love with me ?" "In this scene." "May I make a suggestion ?" "Do." "No, Larry, please." "I suggest that you break for an hour and then start the scene fresh." "That's a wonderful idea." "Jim !" "Break for an hour." "Thank you, Mr. Blake." "Mr. Blake." "If you think it's all right, maybe I'm wrong." "I'll try and feel it in New Haven." "You see how important it is that you come to New Haven ?" "I'll be there." "You have such authority Larry." "That's what I adore about you." "How's my poise ?" "I don't know about yours, but whenever I'm near you mine trembles in the balance." "Hello !" "Hello !" "What happened ?" "Shhh !" "What happened ?" "He's out there with Miss Vaughan." "Has he seen you ?" "No, he was too engrossed." "I don't want him to know I came to NY." "I don't want anyone to know." "I'm going back to Snow Lounge." "How can I get out of here ?" "We can go out at the stage door and through the alley." "Come on." "That's Mr. Miller." "He mustn't see me here." "Go on the stage and wait for me." "I'll get rid of him." "Where is she ?" "Oh, Mr. Miller." "What's that skiing nut doing in NY all dressed up ?" "What on earth are you talking about ?" "Mrs. Blake ?" "Where did she go ?" "I didn't see anybody..." "Oh, it must have been me you saw." "I'm not crazy, it was anything but you." "It was Mrs. Blake." "Mrs. Blake in NY. ?" "If I saw here she must be." "She probably wants me to get lost again." "You're not going to get lost and she isn't Mrs. Blake." "I tell you, if she's not Mrs. Blake, she's her twin sister." "What ?" "I said if she's not Mrs. Blake, she's her twin sister." "Aren't you clever, Mr. Miller ?" "I'm not clever." "I mean..." "Why don't you want me to see the woman ?" "It's no use denying it, Mr. Miller." "You are very clever to have guessed it." "Guessed it ?" "Guessed what ?" "That she's Mrs. Blake's twin sister." "Mrs. Blake has a twin sister ?" "Mrs. Blake has a twin sister !" "Well if she has, she's up to no good." "Mr. Miller, she has a terrible temper." "I want to get to the bottom of this." "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Ellis." "I was detained." "Mrs. Blake !" "Don't you remember me ?" "Do I know you ?" "Why, yes, I..." "No... no..." "I" "Yes... wait, I..." "Do I ?" "Sorry, I can't wait for your decision." "Goodbye." "I'll tell Larry I saw you." "Oh, Mr. Miller." "It is Mr. Miller, isn't it ?" "Yes." "I'm your partner's husband." "I mean, his wife is my partner's wife." "I mean, I'm your sister..." "Oh, Miss Ellis, what do I mean ?" "Her sister's husband's partner." "You're all mixed up." "I met your sister." "Is she well ?" "She's a bundle of health, yes." "Now that I look at you closely, I see you don't look like her at all." "The whole atmosphere is entirely diffrerent." "Really ?" "Well everybody's always been confused by us." "You're very shrewd, Mr. Miller." "When I said, he guessed it right off." "How clever of you." "How very clever." "It was nothing." "I'll call a taxi." "Now, Mr. Miller." "About my brother-in-law." "Yes, yes." "I have a reason, a very special reason for not wanting to meet him." "In fact, I'd be very grateful to you if..." "Of course." "Anything, anything." "If you wouldn't tell him that you have seen me." "Surely." "Please, for me ?" "Don't worry." "I can be very discreet." "You don't like him, do you ?" "Oh, I don't know him." "That is, I mean I feel if I knew him I wouldn't like him." "I understand, Mrs..." "Borg." "Miss Katherine Borg." "Goodbye, Mr. Miller." "Goodbye." "How do you do ?" "I mean, will you dine with me tonight ?" "I just met you." "I can't dine with you tonight." "What about tomorrow night ?" "Tomorrow night I will have forgotten you." "Oh, dear, well maybe I could remind you." "I could send you my picture." "Really, I can't, but..." "Did you say tomorrow night ?" "Yes." "I'll take you to dinner." "What do you think, Miss Ellis ?" "Well, I think..." "It might be charming." "It will be." "I'll call you at 8." "I think it will be very charming." "Until then." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Mrs. Blake, I thought you were leaving town." "So did I, but..." "Oh, I forgot." "Where do you live ?" "Live ?" "I er..." "Hotel Shetland." "It's a date." "What are you up to ?" "Miss Ellis, what's my brother-in-law's favorite café ?" "Sarca's." "I have a suspicion that's where Mr. Miller is taking me tomorrow night." "I thought when you got married, Larry, I'd get a clear field with Griselda." "You were in my way." "That wasn't me in your way, that was you." "Don't be nasty, Larry." "Leave that to me." "Mr. Miller." "This way, please." "Your senior partner seems to be recovering his use and how." "Hold it." "This way, please." "It's not a bad bit he's got there, Larry." "You know her ?" "What's the matter, dear ?" "You're not concentrating." "Excuse me, Griselda, but..." "I think that woman with O.O is my wife." "Oh, waiter, some champagne." "Do you mind ?" "Of course not." "What are you doing here ?" "Serves you right for carrying a napkin around like that." "What do you mean by coming to NY without letting me know ?" "But lots of people come to NY without letting you know." "700.000 of them daily." "Do you know this gentleman ?" "I've met him." "I often regret it, but I've met him." "What kind of a joke is this ?" "Much better than you realize." "You might as well introduce us." "This is my partner, heavens help me, Mr. Lawrence Blake." "This is my friend, Katherine Borg." "By the way, she's your wife's twin sister." "So, Karin's husband." "Oh, Karin." "Oh, you fell into the same trap I did." "Karin's husband." "So." "So what ?" "Oh, my dear brother-in-law, welcome." "I'm very glad to meet you." "What is this ridiculous camouflage ?" "Do you think Karin could have a twin sister without my knowing it ?" "She managed it." "You know everything about her, don't you ?" "Make up your mind, Larry." "Either go away or sit down." "Preferably the former." "She's not with you ?" "Well, not at the moment." "Why ?" "Fact is..." "Too bad." "So soon after marriage." "Don't jump to conclusions." "Karin and I understand each other perfectly." "Happy couple." "Larry married in haste." "He's repenting at leisure." "I have nothing to repent." "But this resemblance." "The same face, the same voice." "We come from the same country." "The same father, the same mother." "I could have sworn you were my wife." "Thanks to my sister, unfortunately I'm not." "Is this the waiter or another brother-in-law ?" "Now look here, Karin." "Katherine." "What year is this ?" "28, madame." "Good." "I don't mind second rate other things, but I do like good champagne." "You look younger than Karin and yet..." "I am, by 15 minutes." "How lucky you are to have captured my little sister." "No, no..." "You came here with me." "I am very aware of it." "To our host." "To you, Mr. Miller." "Where did you and O.O. meet ?" "I must tell you." "It was a darn funny thing." "The first time we met was at hte 43rd Street theater..." "I'm so sorry..." "I dropped my glove." "Goodness, Larry, lowered by your wife already ?" "I'd like to take the card myself." "I warn you, Larry." "I'm going to start doublecrossing you at once." "Well, actually, she's not my wife." "In what way is she your wife ?" "Well..." "It's a wise man that knows his own wife." "She's not his wife, she's my friend." "Your friend ?" "Well, you remember me." "Dick Williams, who's always been so charming and devoted to you." "Ms. Vaughan, Mr. Williams, my friend Miss Borg." "How do you do ?" "When you left our table she was your wife." "What happened in transit ?" "We became friends since then." "It's my wife's twin sister." "Really ?" "How quaint." "What's quaint about it ?" "Twins are a common occurrence." "Even triplets, even quintuplets." "I feel they're very different when people say the resemblance is remarkable." "You and I will have to especially very careful, won't we ?" "Won't you sit down ?" "Thank you." "Are you anybody's wife, Ms. Borg ?" "I'm nobody's wife." "What a marvelous coincidence." "I'm nobody's husband." "Do you ski also, Ms. Borg ?" "No, I don't ski." "What's your specialty ?" "Life." "I see." "What do you see ?" "Ms. Borg's stock and trade." "Mystery." "We don't do that any more." "Frankness is our motto." "We let the boys see the wheels go round." "It seems to interest them." "When did you arrive ?" "Yesterday." "From where ?" "From Lisbon." "I caught the last boat out." "I'm a penniless refugee." "Why didn't you get in touch with me ?" "I knew I'd get to you eventually." "Did you escape in evening clothes ?" "Oh, these." "I just slipped into these." "You slipped." "I wonder why you slipped." "Did you inherit the family fortune ?" "Because Larry told me when he met your sister she was working for a living." "So do I. What ?" "Oh, well..." "Interesting occupation." "After all, Griselda, Ms. Borg is not on trial." "Oh, my dear, was I indiscreet ?" "I'm so sorry." "Don't be tactful." "I'm not in the least sensitive how I get my clothes." "I order what I like, I wear them, and one day..." "What happens ?" "I find them paid for." "Is O.O. the only man you know in NY ?" "So far." "That's wonderful." "That's practically a clear field." "Oh, no." "I'm beyond the point where a young man interests me." "Go home, Dicky." "You're underage." "I'll er..." "I'll wear a beard." "I'll look like Santa Claus." "Why don't you just play Santa Claus." "You don't have to look like him." "All I have is yours, Ms. Borg." "Don't be reckless Mr. Williams." "It's too late to tell me that, Ms. Borg." "Larry, you seem to have married into an interesting family." "I think it was very selfish of Karin not to have told me anything about you." "Well, the truth is..." "Karin is ashamed of me." "That skiing nut would be very hard to please." "Oh, excuse me, Larry." "Dear Karin, she always lived the outdoor life while I am a... partial to the indoor life." "I take it back about you being mysterious, Ms. Borg." "Are you disillusioned ?" "On the contrary." "I'm more hopeful than ever." "It's a new role for you, O.O. Is it ?" "I should say Mr. Miller is quite experienced." "It took you to revive me, Ms. Borg." "Call me Katherine." "Oh, may I ?" "Kate." "I shall call you Kate." "Why don't you call her Kitty ?" "Larry, you act as if though Ms. Borg were your special charge." "Well, she is." "As a close relative I owe her protection." "Is it safe ?" "I'm not sure." "Where do you get this technique ?" "In Scandinavia ?" "Oh, it's international." "I want to enlist for the American Division." "You're not enlisting, my boy." "You've been drafted." "Outside of love everything seems to be a waste of time." "I like men." "Preferably rich men." "I adore you, Ms. Borg." "You're very nice." "Kitty !" "I think I'll have to take you at hand Katherine and talk to you like a Dutch... brother-in-law." "My first impulse was to come to you." "I thought you didn't want to meet him." "I didn't er... after I saw him at the theater." "Were you in the theater ?" "I was." "But you said you didn't see him." "It seemed more charitable to say so." "Why didn't you speak to me ?" "You were busy." "How is it that I didn't see you ?" "I was invisible." "You were visible." "Eavesdropping is fun, isn't it ?" "I like it." "Am I indiscreet ?" "Oh, I see I am." "Don't be upset, Lawrence." "I'm not like Karin." "I'm tolerant." "I'd hate to be in your bad books." "No danger." "As Ms. Vaughan says so beautifully in her play:" ""You and I are inevitable"." "I have a sudden idea." "Which I can only confide in you." "Will you come with me ?" "I bet she wants to give you a part in the play." "But I have no gift for acting." "You'd be better than Ms. Dunbar." "Anybody'd be better than Ms. Dunbar." "Come with me." "Certainly." "I will look forward to my return." "Hello, Snow Lodge ?" "This is Mr. Lawrence Blake." "I'd like to speak with my wife." "Oh, she's gone to NY." "Three days ago, huh ?" "You're sure ?" "Thank you." "Goodbye." "Two can play at this game." "Mr. Miller is sweet, isn't he ?" "I like older men." "They're so grateful." "Dick Williams, he's charming, don't you think ?" "Very." "Your brother-in-law's not bad either." "Fascinating." "How did my innocent little sister attract a man like that ?" "Some men can't stand sudden changes of climate." "Do you think he's in love with her ?" "Not for a minute." "May I speak to you frankly ?" "Please." "After all it isn't as if we were rivals, is it ?" "Certainly not." "The Ark's so big." "Then there's no reason in the world we can't be friends, is there ?" "No reason whatever." "As it happens, I need your advice badly." "Really ?" "You're a platwrite." "You understand everything." "Not everything." "About personal relations, I mean." "My specialty." "I'm at a loss right now." "I don't know what to do." "I should think you continue what you're doing." "It seems profitable." "But about him." "Which ?" "Lawrence." "What I've always been afraid of has happened." "Our falling in love." "But he's married." "Oh, I don't mind that." "After all he's married to my own sister." "Well, Ms. Borg." "As we used to say when I was a little girl in Wilksford, you're a humdinger." "A humdinger ?" "Is it nice ?" "Shall I tell you in plain English ?" "Please." "Go back as quickly as possible where you came from." "I thought you'd sympathize." "You thought no such thing." "Larry is taken." "But you said yourself he doesn't love my sister." "I don't mean your sister." "And you know I don't mean your sister." "Hello, Griselda, darling." "Hello, Phyllis." "Here with Larry ?" "Yes." "One man girl, aren't you ?" "When's his wife coming to town ?" "Where are we ?" "I'm confused." "Are we rivals or aren't we ?" "Look." "Unless you clear out I'm going to wire your sister and tell her what you're up to." "You wouldn't do that." "I will." "But you don't understand." "I don't want to marry Lawrence." "I'll be marrying Mr. Miller." "Or Mr. Williams." "It's only that Lawrence attracts me." "Isn't it awful ?" "Go after O.O. Go after the whole town." "But lay off Larry." "It's too late." "But you've only known him for 20 minutes." "20 minutes in the realm of passion and eternity." "Oh, I don't believe it." "I'm looking more and more like last year's model." "Shall we go ?" "I'm going to wire your sister." "If you must, you must." "Let's go back to him." "Well, did you get the part ?" "I think I did." "What sort of character ?" "The humdinger." "Perfect casting." "Let's dance." "I don't dance." "Neither does Karin." "Except with professionals." "I'm a semipro." "No, it has to be 100%." "Nothing less than the maximum, right, Ms. Borg ?" "Waiter, ask Cecil to come here." "He's going to sit with us too." "Who is Cecil ?" "A pro." "Once you've danced with him, you'll be happy with no one else." "Please, don't bother." "It's not the least bother in the world." "Good evening, Ms. Vaughan." "Mr. Blake." "This is Ms. Katherine Borg, who dances only with professionals." "Charmed." "You're very much like my pet pro in Lisbon." "She's without doubt the most crazed and horrifying collossal gold digger I've ever seen in my life." "Where are you going ?" "Just improvising." "This is a new one on me." "Quite new." "She's a professional all right." "After all, Griselda, don't forget she's my sister-in-law." "I won't forget it." "See that you don't." "This is wonderful." "Very difficult." "Shall we stop ?" "Ohm no, I'm just catching on to it." "What is it ?" "It's a sort of combination." "Of what ?" "The Rhumba and the Conga ?" "No, it's the Chica and the Choca." "What do they call it ?" "La Chica Choca." "What is it ?" "La Chica Choca." "What do they call it ?" "La Chica Choca." "You were marvelous." "Wonderful." "Tonight Cecil who leads has had the honor to follow." "Next time, Cecil, I'll follow you." "You were really marvelous." "Larry, we're late." "For what ?" "We promised to join the Denhams." "So we did." "Come with us." "But it's so pleasant here." "Iy's ravishing, but we have an engagement." "Do come with us." "You too, O.O." "I just want to go to some quiet place and sit." "And I have one rule of life that is when I'm happy never to leave the people I'm happy with." "You'll be happy with Mr. Denham, he's very well off." "Griselda !" "You're angry with me and I don't know why." "What sort of a woman are you anyway ?" "Honest ?" "You are the most..." "You made me lose my poise." "For that I shall never forgive you." "Well, my 3 musketeers, it's been charming." "Thank you so much." "Good night." "This was O.O.'s date." "I'd like one of my own." "Call me." "Every ten minutes." "This seems to have been their date." "I'd like one of my own." "Call me." "Good night, Lawrence." "Hey, she didn't say follow me, she said good night." "You forget, dear boy, I live here." "Good night." "Messages already." "I thought you said you didn't know nobody in NY." "Evidently I was mistaken." "Need to be around when you get to know people." "Don't be possessive." "You're not used to so much champagne, are you ?" "It isn't the champagne." "It's the excitement." "Well, good night, brother-in-law." "You are Karin." "Good night." "Wait." "I've got to talk to you." "Now ?" "Now." "Come in." "Will you excuse me a minute while I telephone ?" "Oh, the people you don't know." "Yes." "Order some champagne, please." "Plaza 59970." "Hello." "Is that you, Mrs. Blake ?" "What's the matter with you, Ms. Ellis ?" "You seem so far away." "I'm all right." "What's the matter with you ?" "To tell you the truth, I... feel rather funny." "Are you ill ?" "No, I feel wonderful." "Do you know why ?" "I outgrizzled Griselda." "I think you ought to go to bed." "I can't." "He's in the other room." "Whta you gonna do with him ?" "I'm going to send him back to my poor little sister in the snow." "You know, Ms. Ellis, I think I had too much champagne." "I tell you, Ms. Ellis..." "He's going to be so fed up with women like me and Griselda, so fed up that he'll..." "That he'll what ?" "That he'll live happily with Karin for ever after." "Do you like champagne ?" "I won't tell." "I love it." "I'm going to have some more right now." "Goodbye, Ms. Ellis." "I want to have a serious talk with you." "This is my serious costume." "Come and sit by me." "I haven't seen you alone." "Let me look at my brother-in-law." "I'm very proud of my little sister." "Promise me one thing." "That you won't judge her by me." "There's no danger." "Good." "It's so long since I've seen her." "Have you her picture ?" "Oh, I think so." "Let me look at it." "Not even a sisterly kiss ?" "Quite a gallery." "I haven't had a chance to clean it out yet." "Here she is." "Ah, what is that dear little house ?" "That's the cabin where we were snowed in." "Just the two of you shut away from the world." "Dear, dear little Karin." "I believe that every woman, no matter how depraved, carries in her heart some image, some ideal of goodness." "Karin is my image, my ideal." "Her influence on you isn't very apparent." "When I'm at my worst I think..." "Oh, well, anyway, Karin is good." "Does that justify you ?" "The good people need us, don't they ?" "For contrast." "I suppose when you spend all your time rolling about in the snow that doesn't sound purifying for your character." "Dear little Karin." "Let me put it up here." "My guardian angel." "Now... the serious talk." "Waiter." "Come in." "Good evening, or good morning." "How are you ?" "Very well, madam." "I'm glad." "Goodbye." "Thank you." "To Karin." "Don't drink any more, please." "Why not ?" "It's not good for you." "Why should I save myself ?" "I see my future." "I'm a flower of evil." "A few more burning flamelike years and then the end." "This harsh new world has no place for me any more." "Hello." "Oh, Mr. Williams." "How are you ?" "You can't sleep ?" "How many sheep have you counted ?" "Oh, they all look like me." "Then they're odd sheep." "Oh, no." "Not now." "Oh, yes, I'm quite alone." "Who would be with me ?" "No, I won't be out for lunch." "I'll be out for dinner." "I'd be delighted." "Good night." "Goodbye." "Nice boy." "He reminds me of an Englishman I met in Singapore." "What became of him ?" "He killed himself." "Over you ?" "So the gossip said." "People don't kill themselves over women any more." "That's old stuff." "I hope you're right, Lawrence, because incidents like that depress me." "Now look here, Katherine." "Are you going to lecture me ?" "I'm afraid I am." "Please do... don't spare me." "Don't spare me." "Now look here, Katherine." "I won't have you running around town like this." "If you need money, I'll give it to you." "Oh, no." "I couldn't take money from you." "Why not ?" "That's immoral." "You certainly have strange ideas of morality." "I've always lived by my own talents." "I never take money from relatives." "Only from strangers." "It's my code." "You have a very curious code." "I shock you, don'y I ?" "Yes, you do." "And I'm not easily shocked." "You and Karin are perfext for each other." "Two nice people." "Two respectable people." "Lawrence, go back to her." "Be happy." "And leave you at the mercy of everybody here ?" "I've outlived myself, but I'm content." "But Karin is there." "She loves you, she's young." "I thought you said she was 15 minutes older than you." "I'm not speaking in terms of minutes, of years, of centuries, I was born old." "Karin wants children." "Be their father, they'll be wonderful children." "They'll ski, they'll be happy." "Let Karin's children take care of themselves." "But, Lawrence, are you drunk ?" "I haven't touched a drop and for pity's sake stop talking about Karin." "But, Larry... brother-in-law..." "Don't call me brother-in-law." "Can't you see that I..." "Don't you see that I..." "Lawrence what is it ?" "Do you know what it is ?" "It's you." "Oh, no." "You don't want a woman like me." "Yes, I do." "Oh, no, not like me." "Yes, like you." "But then how could you love Karin ?" "I don't love Karin." "I love you." "So that's what you are." "You might as well know it." "That's what I am." "Leave me." "Go away." "Leave me." "Forgive me." "Here, madam. this is what's good for what ails you." "Medicine won't help me." "I'm heartbroken." "In addition to being heartbroken you have a definite hangover." "I'm poisoned in spirit and body by that awful Katherine." "You'd better drop her before she swallows you up." "My boss never showed up this morning." "Is he definitely outgrizzled ?" "Is he back to the great open spaces and who's going to meet him there ?" "Please..." "I beg your pardon ?" "Don't be gay." "You daughters of joy are so gloomy." "Why is that ?" "I failed utterly." "Really ?" "It's hopeless." "What happened ?" "He doesn't love me." "How do you know ?" "He made love to me." "No." "To Katherine." "That cheap ,vulgar, obvious Katherine." "That's the sort of woman he wants." "Last night he wouldn't have believed such goings on." "I heard myself being so extravagant, I was sure he'd laugh but he didn't laugh." "He was taken in." "Maybe you learned something, even from Katherine." "Not from her." "I despise her." "Yes ?" "There he is." "My hero." "I'm very well." "Last night ?" "Tell you the truth I don't remember what happened last night." "What happened ?" "Whether you remember it or not, I do." "I want to apologize." "Katherine, I must see you." "He's apologizing, but he wants to repeat." "I want to see you alone." "Do you know what that word means ?" "If you don't, look it up in the dictionary." "Very well, your apartment, 8 o'clock." "Goodbye." "Now I've got him where I want him." "In his apartment ?" "Yes, in his apartment." "Last night taught me a great deal." "I know now what my sophisticated husband wants." "A smouldering siren Vamps we used to call them." "Very well." "I will smoulder, I will siren, I will vamp him to a crisp." "You love him." "Love him ?" "I'll divorce him." "On what grounds ?" "It seems days since I've seen you." "That wretched vamp, my twin sister Katherine will supply the evidence." "I felt it." "You did ?" "First I thought I wouldn't come here, but the I gave up the struggle." "That's one depth I thought I would never sink." "But I'm there." "Oh, don't talk like that." "Very well, I shall throw my last scruple to the wind." "I heard some very disturbing things about you today." "Oh, really ?" "From home ?" "From my partner, for one." "What did he say ?" "He said he was engaged to you." "Some men like the feeling of being engaged." "I ran into Dick Williams and he said he was engaged to you too." "How in this condition ?" "I looked up the word you told me to in the dictionary." "Alone." "I know now what it means." "It means to be with you." "Well, that's my idea of a charming dictionary." "I'll have to give you some more words to look up." "Do." "May I have a cigarette ?" "Yes, certainly." "Take your light from me." "I want nothing more from life than always take my light from you." "Then I would like..." "A star ?" "A carpet to the moon." "Some cream from the Milky Way." "I'll ring for the waiter." "What would I do with a star ?" "A carpet to the moon ?" "It's too bulky." "And I hate cream." "It's fattening." "What then ?" "A glass of champagne." "Oh, your demands are terrific, but I'll meet them." "I knew you would." "I didn't know you could be like this." "I knew you could be." "That's why I had to struggle before I came." "Oh, my darling." "Not yet." "Isn't it strange ?" "What ?" "I have known many men." "Don't bring them up." "I have known many men in every capital of the world." "Rich men, clever men, fascinating men, irresistable men, and yet..." "What ?" "Never mind." "Are you really so heartless ?" "That was my ideal." "But you wrecked it." "Katherine." "Oh why, of all the men in the world, did fate bring me here ?" "And make me fall in love with my sister's husband." "It's a small world." "It's too crowded for me." "Not yet." "Not yet." "I didn't get to dance with you the other night." "I know." "We're very good together." "I know." "Remember that ARKO spelled backwards spells OKRA." "Put ARKO in soups, in salads for your heart's delight." "Makes dull food tasty, and tasty food heavenly." "Remember, ARKO spelled backwards spells OKRA." "What did he say ?" "He spelled something backwards." "Not yet." "Come." "Come." "You look so uncomfortable." "I am, acutely." "Closer." "Better ?" "Worse." "Now." "Not yet." "You're a problem." "So are you." "But a problem I mean to solve." "But it's so simple." "For you, not for me." "Katherine." "Yes." "I've got to talk to you." "Let's not talk." "Kiss me." "No." "Don't you want to ?" "More than anything in life." "Then why deny yourself ?" "Because I've got to." "This is a strange rendez-vous." "In fact, in my expereince, unique." "I can't." "I can't do this to Karin." "You could try." "No, no I couldn't." "You were doing pretty well." "I can't deceive Karin." "Katherine, will you marry me ?" "I beg your pardon ?" "I want you to be my wife;" "What ?" "Another wife ?" "Karin is so decent." "She's so innocent, so pure, so good." "I love you." "How can you ?" "I'm far from innocent." "I'm not very good." "With my help you can be just as good as Karin." "Then you're right back where you started from." "Why change ?" "I can do nothing for Karin." "Her life is complete without me." "Is it ?" "She doesn't need anybody else." "Up with the skis, down with skis, on with the skis, off with the skis and she's blissfully happy." "But you, you excite my imagination." "You're fabulous." "And yet you're near too." "You're dreams and reality." "The good side in me is beginning to say yes to you." "Do you think Karin is going to give me a divorce ?" "If she's properly approached, I think she may." "What are you doing ?" "Calling Ms. Ellis." "We're leaving tonight." "What ?" "We're going to Karin." "We must face her." "But that's the one thing I can't do." "Not even with me at your side ?" "I could do it alone, but not with you." "I understand, darling." "I'll take the next plane out alone." "Not a plane." "Why not ?" "That's too fast." "I mean, I don't trust them." "What..." "Hello ?" "Just a minute, Miss Ellis." "You care so much." "Much more than you think." "Take a nice slow train." "Darling." "Yes." "What ?" "Not you, Miss Ellis." "Get me a reservation on the next train out for Snow Lodge." "I'm going to meet my wife." "Your wife ?" "Yes." "And while I'm gone I don't want you to let Ms. Borg out of your sight." "You don't trust me ?" "Not yet." "Ms. Borg is staying Here ?" "Yes." "Ms. Borg is staying here." "All right, Mr. Blake." "I'm going slowly but quietly insane." "Hello, Karin." "Larry !" "What a surprise." "Didn't you get my telegram ?" "Yes, of course I did." "I..." "I'm so glad you got here today." "Are you ?" "Yes, because then you can watch me in the skiing competition tomorrow." "I'll probably win too." "How are you ?" "You look radiant." "As a matter of fact, I'm better than ever." "Oh, you're freezing." "Let me thaw you out." "Put your feet up here." "I don't deserve all this." "Why not ?" "I'll get you a pillow too." "I can use this." "No, that wouldn't be so comfortable." "This is fine." "There." "Give me your hand." "Why the glove ?" "That hand's cold." "You know, cold hand warm heart." "Did you have a nice time in NY ?" "Horrible." "The torture of being away from you." "Too unhappy to write me a letter." "I wrote you hundreds of them." "Then tore them all up." "They were inadequate." "Didn't being with your friends help a little ?" "I didn't see a soul." "I couldn't spare the time." "I slaved night and day to come flying home to you." "You did." "Yes." "Why am I restraining myself ?" "Why don't I take you in my arms ?" "I've been dreaming of this moment ever since I left." "No." "Don't be shy, darling." "I know that you've been longing to see me." "I think you are the most..." "Don't speak." "I will speak." "You'll spoil our moment." "I'll spoil more than that." "I'll..." "This has got to stop." "I forbid you to speak." "You forbid me ?" "Yes, are you my wife or aren't you ?" "Well..." "I'm not so sure." "Larry..." "Larry..." "Lawrence..." "Lawrence..." "Darling." "Good morning." "Are you writing me a poem ?" "Just a love note." "I'm just in the mood for that note." "Please read it to me." ""Dear Karin, thanks for everything." "I'm leaving for NY." "Goodbye." "Yours in haste." "Larry."" "You can't be serious." "Perfectly serious." "What is it with the early morning air that always drives you to NY ?" "But this is my final departure." "And I'll learn my lesson." "This time I'll come with you without a struggle." "Will you really ?" "You just crook your little finger and I'll come anywhere." "North, south, east ot west." "Might not be a bad idea." "Not a bad idea at all." "Yes, the more I think of it, the more I like it." "Come with me." "Yes." "Yes, and when we get to NY I'll have the most wonderful surprise for you." "Really ?" "I love surprises." "This'll be a knockout." "I'll put you in touch with your long lost family." "Which branch do you know ?" "Your sister." "My twin sister ?" "Don't tell me you have another one, I couldn't stand that." "No, I have only one, but she's more than enough." "She isn't more than enough for me." "Oh, I think she's the last word." "Well don't say the word." "I adore her." "If she's so great what are you waiting for ?" "For you." "You said you would come with me." "And what do you think I'll be doing ?" "We might go up to Connecticut and ski." "While Katherine and I make the rounds of NY." "It's a brilliant idea." "I'm glad you like it." "It'll be nice to come and see you in the afternoon, have a quiet cup of tea." "Gather strength so to speak for my next meeting with Katherine." "You want me as your rest, is that it ?" "It's for your sake too." "Because while you're there I can make up my mind which one of you I want permanently." "Perhaps you want both of us." "Very possibly." "Say, that isn't a bad idea." "You for the outdoor life and..." "Katherine for..." "Well never mind." "Even my sister wouldn't take you in those terms." "You don't know your sister." "She knows men." "She understands me, I understand her." "Well there's one thing you don't understand." "Can't think what it is." "Me !" "Can't you look at this thing impersonally ?" "That's just what I'm doing and the effect is revolting." "Oh, don't take on so." "Once I settle down with the two of you I'll never look at another woman." "I advise you to look at another woman right now." "Because you'll never see me again." "Why not ?" "I hope you'll be very happy with us." "Here we are." "Well Karin, if you're going to come with me, you'd better get dressed." "Don't you notice anything ?" "What ?" "Haven't you seen this before ?" "Hum ?" "Ohhh." "Oh, haven't I ?" "Well." "How charming of Katherine to send you her old clothes." "But, my dear, I must say it doesn't quite suit you." "I guess I'm old-fashioned." "You are not old-fashioned, you're nearsighted." "Can't you see that I'm Katherine ?" "You ?" "My poor child." "Don't you poor child me." "I tell you, I am Katherine." "Now look." "Karin, please don't do that." "It shocks me." "It didn't shock you when I was Katherine, did it ?" "You Katherine." "My dear, you're having delusions of grandeur." "You prosaic, respectable, skiing instructor." "I'm not respectable !" "Don't talk to me like that." "What are you doing ?" "I'm getting as far away from you as possible." "What are you so angry about ?" "Supposing you really were Katherine." "I am Katherine." "In that case I wasn't unfaithful." "That's not your fault." "And what about you, if you're who you say you are, you international menace ?" "You're a light character." "And you're a fraud." "If you did play Katherine you couldn't have done it so well unless there were a lot of Katherine in you." "Well, if there is, I'll cultivate more." "Goodbye." "Katherine !" "You've broken the last heart in my family." "We're through with you." "Both of us." "Karin !" "Katherine." "You know I can't ski so fast." "Karin !" "Katherine !" "Come back !" "Come back !" "I forgive you." "Help !" "Help !" "Stop !" "look out !" "How do you stop these things ?" "Make a stem turn." "Are you all right ?" "I changed my mind." "I don't forgive you." "O don't ask your forgiveness." "I want to know if you're all right." "Don't use that tone with me." "You're a female Jekyll and Hyde." "To think that I ever fell for you." "Be careful !" "Help !" "Help !" "Fall down." "That'll stop you." "I'm down but I'm not stopped." "Stay down !" "Stay down !" "I keep coming up." "I've lost my poles." "Slow down !" "Lake ahead !" "Lake ?" "What lake ?" "Where ?" "Larry !" "Darling !" "Come here." "Are you all right, Larry ?" "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have left you up there." "Larry, are you hurt ?" "Say something, Larry." "Larry, are you all right ?" "I beg your pardon." "You frightened the life out of me, Larry." "Aren't you under a misapprehension ?" "Larry, please." "I'm not Larry." "I'm his twin brother." "Oh, Karin..." "Katherine."
