Plant has two rooms down an area in Ellam Street. Shop in front, sitting room behind. We went in through the shop. Smell of boot polish like a lion cage. Back room with an old kitchen range. Good mahogany table. Horsehair chairs. Bed in corner made up like a sofa. Glass-front bookcase full of nice books, Chambers's Encyclopedia. Bible dictionary. Sixpenny Philosophers.

 

(J. Cary. The Horse's Mouth)

Surrey all in one blaze like a forest fire. Great clouds of dirty yellow smoke rolling up. Nine carat gold. Sky water-green to lettuce green. A few top clouds, yellow and solid as lemons. River disappeared out of.its hole. Just a gap full of the same fire, the same smoky gold, the same green. Far bank like a magic island floating in the green.

Many windows

Many floors

Many people

Many stores

Many streets

And many hangings

Many whistles

Many clangings

Many, many, many, many

Many of everything, many of any.

(D.J. Bisset)

Emily: George, please don't think of that. I don't know why I said it. It's not true. You're

George: No, Emily, you stick to it. I'm glad you spoke to me like you did. But you'll sec: I'm going to change so quick.... you bet I'm going to change. And, like you say, being gone all that time... in other places and meeting other people... Gosh, if anything like that can happen I don't want to go away. I guess new people aren't any better than old ones. I'll bet they almost never are. Emily... I feel that you're as good a friend as I've got. I don't need to go and meet the people in other town.

Emily: But, George, maybe it's very important for you to go and learn all that about cattle judging and soils and those things... Of course, 1 don't know.

George (after a pause, very seriously): Emily, I'm going to make up my mind right now. I won't go. I'll tell Pa about it tonight.

Emily: Why, George, I don't see why you have to decide right now. It's a whole year away.

George: Emily, I'm glad you spoke to me about that... that fault in my character. What you said was right; but there was one thing wrong in it, and that was when you said that for a year I wasn't noticing people, and... you, for instance. Why, you say you were watching me when I did everything... I was doing the same about you all the time. Why, sure, I always thought about you as one of the chief people I thought about. I always made sure where you were sitting on the bleacher and who you were with, and for three days now I've been trying to walk home with you; but something always got in the way. Yesterday I was standing over against the wall waiting for you, and you walked home with Miss Corcoran.

Emily: George!.. Life's awful funny! How could I have known that? Why, I thought

George: Listen, Emily, I'm going to tell you why I'm not going to Agriculture School. I think that once you've found a person that you're very fond of... I mean a person who's fond of you, too, and likes you enough to be interested in your character... Well, I think that's just as important as college is, and even more so. That's what I think...

Emily: I think that's awfully important, too.

George: Emily.

Emily: Yes, George.

George: Emily, if I do improve and make a big change... would you be... I mean: could you be...

Emily: I... I am now; I always have been.

George (pause): So I guess this is an important talk we've been having.

Emily: Yes... yes.

Doctor: Mrs Venable?

Mrs V.: Yes.

Doctor: In your letter, last week you made some reference to a to a

fund of some kind, an endowment fund of

Mrs V.: I wrote you that my lawyers and bankers and certified public accountants were setting up the Sebastian Memorial Foundation to subsidize the work of young people like you that are pushing out the frontiers of art and science but have financial, problems. You have a financial problem, don't you, Doctor?

Doctor: Yes, we do have that problem. My work is such a new and radical thing that people in charge of state funds are naturally a little scared of it and keep us on a small budget, so small that . We need a separate ward for my patients, I need trained assistants, I'd like to marry a girl. I can't afford to marry! But here's also the problem of getting the right patients, not just criminal psychopaths that the state turns over to us for my operations because it's well risky... I don't want to turn you against my work at Lion's View but I have to be honest with you. There is a good deal of risk in my operation. Whenever you enter the brain with a foreign object...

Mrs V.: Yes.

Doctor: Even a needle-thin knife...

Mrs V.: Yes.

Doctor: In a skilled surgeon fingers...

Mrs V:. Yes.

Doctor: There is a great deal of risk involved in the operation...

Mrs V.: You said that it pacifies them, it quiets them down, it suddenly makes them peaceful.

Doctor: Yes, it does that, that much we already know, but...

Mrs V.: What?

Doctor: Well, it will be ten years before we can tell if the immediate benefits of the operation will be lasting or passing or even

if there'd still be and this is what haunts me about it! any possibility, afterwards, of reconstructing a totally sound person. It may be that the person will always be limited afterwards, relieved of acute disturbances but limited, Mrs Venable...
