"Be careful, Sterling don't let those Javanese sell you any jungles for tea plantations." "Phyllis, will you tell Mother!" "Tell Mother!" "I'll write!" "Isn't this romantic?" "It's going to be our second honeymoon!" "Come and have a last look at San Francisco." "I live in the center of the largest tea district in Java." "Since you are dealing in tea, Mr. Sterling, why not make my home your headquarters?" "Any big game in Java?" "I've always had a secret ambition to shoot a tiger." "If you will honor my house with a visit, I shall be happy to arrange a tiger hunt." "That would be great." "I'll tell Mrs. Sterling." "Oh, you are married?" "I'd like you to meet my wife." "Dear, I want you to meet Prince de Gace." "I'm sorry, but this is very important." "I'll be right back." "Will you have some thing to drink?" "I never drink." "Will you dance?" "I never dance." "Don't you like dancing?" "My wife loves to dance, too." "Your country has always interested me, with its worship of the great God business." "The East is a country of the senses warm, mysterious, like the kiss of a lover." "You are like the orchids of your country, you have the same cold enchantment." "In Java the orchids grow wild and their perfume fills the air." "And the women of Java do they grow wild, too?" "Not wild, but natural." "They do not pretend to be cold" "The heat, the everlasting heat strips everyone of all pretense." "It would be fascinating to learn whether your coldness is only a pretense." "I am furious!" "The steward just told me my hunting outfit is not on board!" "Don't worry, Mr. Sterling." "I can supply you with hunting equipment." "I am afraid of your Prince" "This gun business gets my goat!" "John, didn't you notice anything strange in the Prince's attitude toward me?" "There's something strange about all foreigners!" "He said." "I was like an orchid..." "He said:" "Java strips women of all pretense" "And then,he took me in his arms and kissed me." "I had a terrible nightmare!" "JAVA- A land of magic beauty, cursed with heat relentless heat" "But you were just saying you wanted a nice, cold drink!" "I won't accept anything from him!"" "He's a fine chap, what's the matter with him?" "I just don't like him!" "And I begged you not to accept his invitation!" "Don't be unreasonable, Lillie!" "Why don't you like him?"" "You know I've always wanted to shoot a tiger."" "It's the heat." "It's just the heat, dear." "He says your beauty is more dazzling than the sun." "Reminds me of the Army!" "Your room." "Your personal maids!" "A little arrangement for lowering the temperature" "Good Lord, a double-bed!" "Now, Mr. Sterling i will show you your room." "Your personal maids." "Pardon, Madame." "Dinner is at eight."" "What a fascinating costume!" "I trust Madame has enjoyed the evening." "What in Heaven's name have you got on?" "You look silly, dear take off that junk and go to bed." "Great eastern company about to bid tea propertiers you are interested" "I advise close deals immediately" "I've got to cover six plantations it's no trip for you!" "Why can't you stay here, like a sensible woman?" "Because I want to be with you." "The Prince is going with us." "I think Mrs. Sterling would enjoy it more if the top were down." "You would have the top down!" "Now I suppose you'll catch cold!" "Top up now, sir." "We'll have to wait for Mrs. Sterling." "You can't travel in that condition." "You'll have to stay here and we'll come back for you." "But, dear, I don't want to stay here alone." "I just told him if anything happened to Mrs. Sterling, I would cut his throat." "Your husband thought you would be safer if I remained with you." "Why have you shut yourself away from me all day?" "You were afraid afraid of yourself!" "You wanted to come out hours ago" "Where is Mrs. Sterling?" "Mrs. Sterling went to her room after supper." "I thought you were never coming back!" "Why are you so excited?" "I was so worried about you." "Have you lost anything?" "I just wanted to say good-night." "Then there is nothing to keep us in Java any longer, is there?" "I don't want to leave Java until I've killed my tiger." "The jungle..." "My pipe." "I must have left it in my hunting coat." "Did you find it?" "I have a head-ache I think I'll go to bed." "Did you hear that?" "Did you ever try to get one at night?"" "It's exciting enough by daylight, on the back of an elephant." "I am afraid, he knows..." "Don't be afraid." "I'll see that he knows nothing!" "The tiger must be very near camp." "I just heard him again." "Let's try to get a shot at him." "This is ridiculous!" "I'm going back!" "It's empty!" "You ..." "What right had you to do this?" "What right had you to take it for granted I loved him, was faithless to you?" "You are blind blind, blind!" "The doctor says he'll be all right in a few days." "I hope you'll forgive me, but you see I loved you, too." "John, you blind, foolish." "Darling, will you never understand you are the only man I love?"
