(_to herself_) No--no I don't either (_Again this troubled thing turns her to the plant. She puts by themselves the two which_ ANTHONY _covered with paper bags. Is about to remove these papers_. HARRY _strikes a match_.) CLAIRE: (_turning sharply_) You can't smoke here. The plants are not used to it. HARRY: Then I should think smoking would be just the thing for them. CLAIRE: There is design. HARRY: (_to_ DICK) Am I supposed to be answered? I never can be quite sure at what moment I am answered.

Very carefully gives the rose pollen to an unfamiliar flower--rather wistfully unfamiliar, which stands above on a small shelf near the door of the inner room_.) |
