I can and I can mention it. I can explain how by twice repeating you
change the meaning you actually change the meaning. This makes it more
interesting. If we attach it to a person we make for realization.
Do you really mean you have no preferences.
I can not visualise the condition.
By that time I am free to say that we have made offers of finding the
right name for everything.
Do you know that you are careful.
Do you see the state of your purse.
Have you been told that I will give you more if you ask for it.
Or do you not care to receive a favor.
Certainly you wish to be helped.
Let me help you.
Do not refuse me.
You can regulate your expenditure.
It is unreasonable.
Not because you do it.
Not because you do not do it.
Standard pieces.
Eating and drinking.
Can you forget Minerva.
I make the mistake.
I mean Monica.
Can you forget Monica.
Or Polybe.
ACT II.
A dazzling dress. We dazzle altogether.
PLEASE DO NOT SUFFER
A PLAY
Genevieve, Mrs. Marchand and Count Daisy Wrangel.
(Mrs. Marchand.) Where was she born and with whom did she go to school.
Did she know the Marquise of Bowers then or did she not. Did she come to
know her in Italy. Did she learn English in Morocco. She has never been
to England nor did she go to school in Florence. She lived in the house
with the friends of the count Berny and as such she knew them and she
knew him. She went to eat an Arab dinner.
How did she come to know the people she has known. I do not understand
it.
With whom did she go to school. We are not sure. When did she first know
about Morocco. Where did she hear English.
She heard English spoken to children.
(Count Daisy Wrangel.) He speaks English very well. He has an impediment
in his speech. He likes cauliflower and green peas. He does not find an
old woman satisfactory as a cook. He wishes for his Italian. It is too
expensive to bring her down. He does like dogs. He once had eight. They
were black poodles. They were living in a garden on a duchess' estate.
He trained them to be very willing and he has pictures of them all. He
has often written a book. He writes about art sometimes. He also paints
a little. He has a friend who paints a picture every morning and paints
a picture every afternoon. He is not disagreeable. He did not come with
him. He asked to see the dog he thought he had grown.
