Act I

Myra
Love’s a very big word, Simon.
Simon
It isn’t⁠—it’s tiny. What are we to do?
Myra
What do you mean?
Simon
We can’t go on like this.
Myra
I’m not going on like anything.
Simon
Yes, you are; you’re going on like Medusa, and there are awful snakes popping their heads out at me from under your hat⁠—I shall be turned to stone in a minute, and then you’ll be sorry.
Myra
Laughing.
You’re very sweet, and I’m veryvery fond of you.
Simon
Tell me what you’ve been doing⁠—everything.
Myra
Nothing.
Simon
What did you do after you’d dined with Charlie Templeton?
