<h2><SPAN name="HE_SAID_IT">HE SAID IT<br/> <small>MONOLOGUE</small></SPAN></h2>
<p>Spoken.</p>
<p>In English.</p>
<p>Always spoken.</p>
<p>Between them.</p>
<p>Why do you say yesterday especially.</p>
<p>Why do you say by special appointment is it a mistake
is it a great mistake. This I know. What are and
beside all there is a desire for white handkerchiefs.</p>
<p>You shall have it.</p>
<p>This is what we give. We give it with a hat. Dear
me. A great many people are precious. Are they. I do
not ask the question.</p>
<p>This is my fright.</p>
<p>Oh dear Oh dear I thought the fire was out.</p>
<p>I consider it very healthy to eat sugared figs not
pressed figs I do not care for pressed figs.</p>
<p>I consider it necessary to eat sugared prunes and an
apple. I have felt it to be the only advice I could give.
It has been successful. I really feel great satisfaction
in the results. No one can say that short hair is
unbecoming.</p>
<p>What are the obligations of maternity. Reading and
sleeping. Also copying. Yes thank you.</p>
<p>Are you pleased.</p>
<p>I am not pleased.</p>
<p>I am delighted.</p>
<p>It has been a very fruitful evening.</p>
<p>It is not very likely she was pleased.</p>
<p>Pleasures of the chase. Do you like flags. I believe
in painting them. I also inquire as to their origin. Are
they simple in color or have they various designs.
<SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_268" title="268"> </SPAN>Nobody can be as pleased as I am can be more pleased
than I am. I am further delighted with the social relation
I have established with a great many acquaintances.
I began by intending to change to change the method
of branching. I do not find it distinguished. Then I
found that by choosing and asking other people to supply
I could be satisfied. This is history.</p>
<p>Did he see he would kill a rabbit. Many rabbits
are troublesome. I do not care to eat the one he was to
give us.</p>
<p>You do not care to eat rabbit.</p>
<p>Who is our well-wisher. I see clearly that you have
made a mistake. You have answered me defiantly. I
have not.</p>
<p>Large spaces of time are filled by my telling how
to sing.</p>
<p>How do you sing.</p>
<p>Some sing so well they laugh.</p>
<p>Others sing so well that they are roses.</p>
<p>I was very pleased with embroidery very very pleased
with embroidery.</p>
<p>Indeed.</p>
<p>Indeed I think alone.</p>
<p>And make lists.</p>
<p>And make lists.</p>
<p>I do not make lists.</p>
<p>It is no trouble to make lists.</p>
<p>I feel an infinite satisfaction in the thought that I
have stopped worrying.</p>
<p>Indeed you never worry.</p>
<p>Who can be willing to leave an American boat.</p>
<p>No one.</p>
<p>This is what I said.</p>
<p>I said it to an Englishman.</p>
<p>Governed. Do be governed.</p>
<p>I speak of this very kindly. I do not tell him about
<SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_269" title="269"> </SPAN>darkness.</p>
<p>Or anybody.</p>
<p>Many people fear distraction and divert themselves
with discussion. Not I.</p>
<p>I am singularly adaptable. I have no opinion. When
I am asked I say it is distressing not to be right. It is
not distressing to me. I accomodate myself to it. I am
inclined to be talkative.</p>
<p>Are you.</p>
<p>Yes sir.</p>
<p>This is the way I say it. I ask any one to say a bowl
of water. This is not difficult. Then roses in it. I
prefer pansies. Do you. Or daisies. No we do not consider
wild flowers. This is not the reason. The real
reason is the odor. Some people like a strong odor like
china lilies or almond flowers or even tube-roses. I like
them very much. I like them all very much. Do you.</p>
<p>Yes I do.</p>
<p>The other day we saw a woman knitting she was
doing it not so very quickly and then we understood the
reason. She was knitting with cotton. That is quite the
custom of the country.</p>
<p>Why do you wish to hear it.</p>
<p>I was very pleased with this and now I want to tell
you how to do it. This is what to ask. Do you make
decorations. Do you please yourself. Are you fanciful.
Have you any use for color. Do you ask for strange
resemblances. Have you all always been merry. Do you
believe in history. Have you authority.</p>
<p>Do you expect to seem selfish. Do you. I wonder
about that.</p>
<p>Why do you talk about stretches.</p>
<p>You mean a series.</p>
<p>Yes I mean that. Do you remember that I said that.</p>
<p>What do I feel today. I feel that I do know how
to air a woman.</p>
<p>You mean that I make it too cold. Well to be sure
<SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_270" title="270"> </SPAN>I am selfish I sit before the fire. I really ought to give
you the best place only I don't like to change.</p>
<p>You dear you are so sweet to me.</p>
<p>A carpet on the floor makes it a great difference.</p>
<p>Indeed there is a granite which is called marble and
rightly called marble because it is found here. Do you
know where it is made. Yes I have seen it.</p>
<p>Yes so they say.</p>
<p>Go to sleep.</p>
<p>This is my way.</p>
<p>In speaking I have a belief in saying that I said it
last.</p>
<p>Some people differ from me.</p>
<p>This is a sentence.</p>
<p>What was it she reminded me of.</p>
<p>It is satisfactory.</p>
<p>There are a great many plans. Will there be a good
<ins title="crisis">crises</ins>. I don't know. In our affairs. No the nations.
Don't speak to her of it.</p>
<p>I am not certain I like liberty.</p>
<p>Don't you.</p>
<p>Of course not.</p>
<p>We go on saying what he said.</p>
<p>I can't understand why you contradict me.</p>
<p>There we are I have a coat over my knees.</p>
<p>There is no way of speaking english. I say there
is no way of speaking English. What do you mean.
I mean that anybody can begin and go on. And finish.
It's easy enough and especially hard when there is a use.
Why do you say exchange. I do not know what they say
exchange. They say they believe in exchange. I often
talk about nothing.</p>
<p>What have I to say.</p>
<p>I wish to speak to you what shall we do about water.
The water is everywhere. Imagine me in bed. We were
very careful to ask about it.</p>
<p>Not for teeth.</p>
<p><SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_271" title="271"> </SPAN>
Why do you talk about it not for the girl.</p>
<p>He was of course not able to pay for the concert.
He was of course not able to pay for the concert.</p>
<p>I am not talking about myself.</p>
<p>I can supply furs.</p>
<p>In summer.</p>
<p>Today.</p>
<p>It is not very cold.</p>
<p>But it will be.</p>
<p>What did he say. He said it was explanatory. I
said it was explanatory. I said I was careful of climbing.
Not into bed. Yes into bed. Why. Because you can
never tell about the slats. I remember that word.</p>
<p>What did he say today.</p>
<p>A great many mountains have seas near them.</p>
<p>And the moon. The moon has no tide.</p>
<p>When do you say that.</p>
<p>Every night.</p>
<p>Why.</p>
<p>Because I have never seen so much moonlight.</p>
<p>I feel it very much.</p>
<p>A great many people were listening. To your getting
angry</p>
<p>Talking about feeling.</p>
<p>This afternoon we went to New York and we spent
the day together. We said which way shall we walk.</p>
<p>In reading the papers I am often struck with the
different way I am impressed with the news. Should
I be cheerful. I should not. Mr. Sandling says that I
am. Indeed I am.</p>
<p>We do not expect it today. Let us go to Soller.</p>
<p>All of you hear me.</p>
<p>I like to see the rocks I mean stones.</p>
<p>I didn't mean it about the clock.</p>
<p>Here we are.</p>
<p>Mrs. misses kisses.</p>
<p>Misses kisses most.</p>
<p><SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_272" title="272"> </SPAN>
I do like to say that.</p>
<p>Do you wish you had said it first. Not exactly. I
repeat more often. A great many people hear you.
Not now.</p>
<p>All about the swing. Swing where. In a lamp.
You mean electricity. Yes I mean electricity. Wax.</p>
<p>Do read to me.</p>
<p>We went down to the town and we met Mr. and
Mrs. Somaillard. We drank something there and we
said if they would wait we would call for them in a
carriage. We had several things to attend to first.</p>
<p>I nearly said it together.</p>
<p>Do I think that they will.</p>
<p>Do little walks tire you.</p>
<p>Dear Sir. This is the end of the day and I am able
to explain that a great deal of trouble has been taken.</p>
<p>I feel that there must be a regular time for the
oranges.</p>
<p>Oh yes indeed.</p>
<p>Never have I seen so many trees.</p>
<p>It was a surprise to you.</p>
<p>I say that I am certain that a great many things
can be said.</p>
<p>Call it a fan love.</p>
<p>I don't care to see pieces.</p>
<p>Don't you.</p>
<p>Indeed you don't.</p>
<p>Leaving stones aside what do you think of the
weather and the country.</p>
<p>I think them both delightful.</p>
<p>So do I.</p>
<p>And we enjoy ourselves.</p>
<p>Oh very much.</p>
<p>Yes and what time do you wake up.</p>
<p>At half past seven.</p>
<p>I don't wake up till nine.</p>
<p>What is the date today.</p>
<p><SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_273" title="273"> </SPAN>
Wishes</p>
<p>He wishes to think.</p>
<p>Do not distress them.</p>
<p>What we do is this we give it to them.</p>
<p>What did he say.</p>
<p>He said he expected to be ill. He said he said he
expected not to be very well. Yes Mr. Lindo Webb.</p>
<p>Yes Mrs.</p>
<p>You should always speak the name.</p>
<p>I don't feel that I can mention it.</p>
<p>Do you believe in me.</p>
<p>Are you surprised that you have gone so far.</p>
<p>To me not to me.</p>
<p>Insulting yes she is insulting she asks have we ever
heard of a poet named Willis.</p>
<p>Alice has. I have not. She says he belonged to a
group. Like Thoreau.</p>
<p>I am not displeased with the remark.</p>
<p>Did we see the festivity. Water is amusing.</p>
<p>Do I want to go away.</p>
<p>No indeed I do not want to go away.</p>
<p>Two months.</p>
<p>In two months.</p>
<p>Politely miss me.</p>
<p>Call what.</p>
<p>Call Milly.</p>
<p>Don't you understand the difference.</p>
<p>He wanted fifty dollars for six days.</p>
<p>We did not refuse a visit.</p>
<p>No one refuses a visit.</p>
<p>I do.</p>
<p>I see.</p>
<p>A little finish. What was that noise.</p>
<p>I am very pleased to have a good fire.</p>
<p>Here are my stars and stripes.</p>
<p>Yes it's the flag.</p>
<p>What time is it.</p>
<p><SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_274" title="274"> </SPAN>
Day time.</p>
<p>Of course and the morning.</p>
<p>I always go well prepared.</p>
<p>Of course you would.</p>
<p>What do I think.</p>
<p>Is not this certain.</p>
<p>What.</p>
<p>That there are a great many places where one would
not be as comfortable.</p>
<p>Where we would not be so comfortable.</p>
<p>Certainly I don't deny that.</p>
<p>We have been so happy here. Yes but that has
nothing to do with the people. No it hasn't. But I like
to see what I see here. You know perfectly well you
will be just as well pleased with something else.</p>
<p>Why do mules go together. Because those people
are religious. They are very religious. Were you invited.</p>
<p>Then I will finish it here.</p>
<p>This is very easy to please. Cups and saucers altogether.</p>
<p>We are going to have a picnic. With chicken not
today today we are going to have eggs and salad and
vegetables and brown bread and what else. False
smuggled contraband tobacco. You mean by that that
it isn't tobacco. No it's only leaves. I laugh.</p>
