Emily Beaudine:
[in the stable]
Hello.
Saul Trevethick:
Hello. Are Bess and Julie home?
Emily Beaudine:
Yes they are, surely.
Saul Trevethick:
It's sweltering hot outside. What do you think?
Emily Beaudine:
I wouldn't know. Whatever you think, will do.
Saul Trevethick:
No, don't go. Larry about somewhere?
Emily Beaudine:
Strange you should ask me that, you must have passed him just now. You're not fooling me, you see. You're very young, aren't you?
Saul Trevethick:
Am I?
Emily Beaudine:
It's a great pleasure to have you breathing down my neck.
Saul Trevethick:
Like it?
Emily Beaudine:
If it wasn't so draughty. And it's thirsty work in the fields, isn't it?
Saul Trevethick:
Well, why do you ask?
Emily Beaudine:
Cos' I can just smell that you've quenched it.
Saul Trevethick:
I never know when you're joking. You're a funny thing.
Emily Beaudine:
Indeed, how I must make myself laugh. Now you mustn't stand so close to me. If someone were to come in, it would be a great pity to make a fool of yourself.
Saul Trevethick:
You like me, don't you?
Emily Beaudine:
I haven't given it a thought.
Saul Trevethick:
Emmie's there's, there's something about you that... that, you know what I mean, don't you? Don't you?
Emily Beaudine:
Indeed I hope I don't. Now I think it would be much better if, very quietly you were to tip-toe out and go...
Saul Trevethick:
Stop it, I... I don't know what the devil's got hold of me. When I come near you, I... I don't seem to be able to, I never seem to hold myself like. I can't, I can't. Are you laughing at me?
Emily Beaudine:
Let me look at you.
Saul Trevethick:
Then don't joke with me.
Emily Beaudine:
Very deep chest. You're stronger than I thought.
Emily Beaudine:
No, no you mustn't kiss me.
