The Fugitive. Galsworthy John

talk about – your minds? [CLARE looks at him] Will you answer a straight question? Is he falling in love with you?

      CLARE. You had better ask him.

      GEORGE. I tell you plainly, as a man of the world, I don't believe in the guide, philosopher and friend business.

      CLARE. Thank you.

      A silence. CLARE suddenly clasps her hands behind her head.

      CLARE. Let me go! You'd be much happier with any other woman.

      GEORGE. Clare!

      CLARE. I believe – I'm sure I could earn my living. Quite serious.

      GEORGE. Are you mad?

      CLARE. It has been done.

      GEORGE. It will never be done by you – understand that!

      CLARE. It really is time we parted. I'd go clean out of your life. I don't want your support unless I'm giving you something for your money.

      GEORGE. Once for all, I don't mean to allow you to make fools of us both.

      CLARE. But if we are already! Look at us. We go on, and on. We're a spectacle!
