Text

START: Pawnie : It may be tiresome of me, but I think all this colouring is oppressive.
Helen: You make such a � Fetish � of house decoration, Pawnie.
Pawnie {wandering round the room): Not at all, but I do like things to be good and right.
[...]
END: Helen ; Thank you so much.
Pawnie: You must realize one thing, everyone is sacrificed to Florence � it’s as it should be � of course, she’s a couple of hundred years too late � she ought to have been a flaunting, intriguing King’s mistress, with black page boys and jade baths and things too divine--
