Bird never took part in the conversation.
You are greatly mistaken.
Mark Baldwin. What is your name.
Australia. Did you mention Australia.
Oh yes you mentioned Australia.
We believe in Mexico.
SCENE II.
Mexico.
Come to see me in Mexico.
I don't believe in waiting and eating.
That's what we said.
Mark Guilbert. How often I have mentioned his name.
Lindo Bell. I have not mentioned his name before.
Oh yes you have.
Charles Pleyell. This is a name we all know.
My pen is poor my ink is pale my hand shakes like a little dog's tail.
Dorothy Palmer. Where is Ibizza.
Frank Jenny. I do not believe that he is home.
At home.
Yes at his home.
I do not believe that he's out.
Mark Guilbert. He is a young man.
We know three on the island.
Mark, Allan and their mother.
That is not what I meant when I said that she looked American.
SCENE III.
I don't quite understand what I have done.
Wintering and rain it is not raining. It rains every day. Oh yes it
makes the wood wet. We prefer it so. Thank you you will come to lunch.
At what hour. One o'clock. John Russel. If there is a Mallorcan name if
Mallorca gave the missionary who converted the California settlers if
the Mallorcans have a little town of their own near New York then we
will believe in Spanish influence in Mexico. The Spaniards are not liked
in Mexico.
John and Maria Serra.
Foundations.
The middle of the day. Why do you not come in the day time. You mean to
listen. No I don't mean to listen.
This is very well said.
Dorothy Palmer Come in and rest.
We are coming in.
A great deal.
A great many mistakes.
Maria Serra. I understand you wish to show me what you have.
Yes.
Will you come tomorrow.
Tomorrow would suit me better.
Or today.
Today would suit me.
Would you be disappointed if Fernando Orro only sang twice.
Of course not.
You mean you would be willing to change your mind.
Of course.
Yes that's it.
Of course a great many people are there and they do not mean to say
anything.
You mean praiseworthy.
Yes be glad to meet me.
Yes a diamond.
All the way to come.
Home.
SCENE IV.
Mexico begins here.
You relieve here.
Here we have star-fish. You mean little ones. Yes little ones.
Mark Gilbert. I wish to tell you about mines.
Yes.
Or would you prefer to hear there were meteors.
I would surely prefer to hear there were meteors.
Any one can refer to it.
So they can.
In the meantime the wind this evening is not nearly in that locality.
Do you think one can say that.
No perhaps not.
Mrs. Penfold. Mrs. Penfold sees no one.
ACT V.
The act of coming is pitiful.
Butter is pitiful.
All of it is enough.
She said it is pleasanter now when there is enough so that there can be
a change.
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Paul.
Do you know that name. Do you know being called Mr. Paul. Do you hear me
telling you that a great many people hear opera.
A great many soldiers in the streets.
This means that there is wood to prevent traffic.
Not plenty of wood oh no.
