I don’t mean a funny cap.
Richard
You’re far too full of vitality to sink into anything.
Judith
It’s entirely spurious vitality. If you troubled to look below the surface, you’d find a very wistful and weary spirit. I’ve been battling with life for a long time.
Richard
Surely such successful battles as yours have been are not wearying?
Judith
Yes, they are—frightfully. I’ve reached an age now when I just want to sit back and let things go on around me—and they do.
