学习啦在线学习网 Amy Lowell
"Hullo, Alice!"
"Hullo, Leon!"
学习啦在线学习网 "Say, Alice, gi' me a couple
学习啦在线学习网 O' them two for five cigars,
学习啦在线学习网 Will yer?"
"Where's your nickel?"
学习啦在线学习网 "My! Ain't you close!
Can't trust a feller, can yer."
"Trust you! Why
What you owe this store
Would set you up in business.
学习啦在线学习网 I can't think why Father 'lows it."
"Yer Father's a sight more neighbourly
学习啦在线学习网 Than you be. That's a fact.
学习啦在线学习网 Besides, he knows I got a vote."
"A vote! Oh, yes, you got a vote!
A lot o' good the Senate'll be to Father
学习啦在线学习网 When all his bank account
学习啦在线学习网 Has run away in credits.
There's your cigars,
If you can relish smokin'
With all you owe us standin'."
学习啦在线学习网 "I dunno as that makes 'em taste any diff'rent.
You ain't fair to me, Alice, 'deed you ain't.
学习啦在线学习网 I work when anythin's doin'.
学习啦在线学习网 I'll get a carpenterin' job next Summer sure.
Cleve was tellin' me to-day he'd take me on come Spring."
学习啦在线学习网 "Come Spring, and this December!
I've no patience with you, Leon,
学习啦在线学习网 Shilly-shallyin' the way you do.
Here, lift over them crates o' oranges
I wanter fix 'em in the winder."
"It riles yer, don't it, me not havin' work.
学习啦在线学习网 You pepper up about it somethin' good.
学习啦在线学习网 You pick an' pick, and that don't help a mite.
Say, Alice, do come in out o' that winder.
Th' oranges c'n wait,
An' I don't like talkin' to yer back."
学习啦在线学习网 "Don't you! Well, you'd better make the best o' what
you can git.
学习啦在线学习网 Maybe you won't have my back to talk to soon.
They look good in pyramids with the 'lectric light on 'em,
学习啦在线学习网 Don't they?
学习啦在线学习网 Now hand me them bananas
An' I'll string 'em right acrost."
"What do yer mean
'Bout me not havin' you to talk to?
学习啦在线学习网 Are yer springin' somethin' on me?"
"I don't know 'bout springin'
学习啦在线学习网 When I'm tellin' you right out.
I'm goin' away, that's all."
学习啦在线学习网 "Where? Why?
What yer mean -- goin' away?"
学习啦在线学习网 "I've took a place
学习啦在线学习网 Down to Boston, in a candy store
For the holidays."
学习啦在线学习网 "Good Land, Alice,
What in the Heavens fer!"
学习啦在线学习网 "To earn some money,
And to git away from here, I guess."
"Ain't yer Father got enough?
学习啦在线学习网 Don't he give yer proper pocket-money?"
"He'd have a plenty, if you folks paid him."
学习啦在线学习网 "He's rich I tell yer.
学习啦在线学习网 I never figured he'd be close with you."
学习啦在线学习网 "Oh, he ain't. Not close.
That ain't why.
But I must git away from here.
I must! I must!"
"You got a lot o' reason in yer
To-night.
How long d' you cal'late
You'll be gone?"
学习啦在线学习网 "Maybe for always."
学习啦在线学习网 "What ails yer, Alice?
学习啦在线学习网 Talkin' wild like that.
Ain't you an' me goin' to be married
学习啦在线学习网 Some day."
"Some day! Some day!
I guess the sun'll never rise on some day."
学习啦在线学习网 "So that's the trouble.
Same old story.
'Cause I ain't got the cash to settle right now.
学习啦在线学习网 You know I love yer,
学习啦在线学习网 An' I'll marry yer as soon
学习啦在线学习网 As I c'n raise the money."
学习啦在线学习网 "You've said that any time these five year,
But you don't do nothin'."
"Wot could I do?
学习啦在线学习网 Ther ain't no work here Winters.
Not fer a carpenter, ther ain't."
"I guess you warn't born a carpenter.
学习啦在线学习网 Ther's ice-cuttin' a plenty."
学习啦在线学习网 "I got a dret'ful tender throat;
Dr. Smiles he told me
学习啦在线学习网 I mustn't resk ice-cuttin'."
"Why haven't you gone to Boston,
学习啦在线学习网 And hunted up a job?"
"Have yer forgot the time I went expressin'
In the American office, down ther?"
学习啦在线学习网 "And come back two weeks later!
No, I ain't."
"You didn't want I should git hurted,
Did yer?
I'm a sight too light fer all that liftin' work.
学习啦在线学习网 My back was commencin' to strain, as 'twas.
学习啦在线学习网 Ef I was like yer brother now,
学习啦在线学习网 I'd ha' be'n down to the city long ago.
学习啦在线学习网 But I'm too clumsy fer a dancer.
学习啦在线学习网 I ain't got Arthur's luck."
学习啦在线学习网 "Do you call it luck to be a disgrace to your folks,
学习啦在线学习网 And git locked up in jail!"
学习啦在线学习网 "Oh, come now, Alice,
学习啦在线学习网 `Disgrace' is a mite strong.
Why, the jail was a joke.
学习啦在线学习网 Art's all right."
"All right!
All right to dance, and smirk, and lie
For a livin',
And then in the end
Lead a silly girl to give you
学习啦在线学习网 What warn't hers to give
学习啦在线学习网 By pretendin' you'd marry her --
学习啦在线学习网 And she a pupil."
学习啦在线学习网 "He'd ha' married her right enough,
Her folks was millionaires."
学习啦在线学习网 "Yes, he'd ha' married her!
学习啦在线学习网 Thank God, they saved her that."
"Art's a fine feller.
I wish I had his luck.
学习啦在线学习网 Swellin' round in Hart, Schaffner & Marx fancy suits,
And eatin' in rest'rants.
But somebody's got to stick to the old place,
Else Foxfield'd have to shut up shop,
Hey, Alice?"
"You admire him!
学习啦在线学习网 You admire Arthur!
You'd be like him only you can't dance.
学习啦在线学习网 Oh, Shame! Shame!
And I've been like that silly girl.
学习啦在线学习网 Fooled with your promises,
学习啦在线学习网 And I give you all I had.
学习啦在线学习网 I knew it, oh, I knew it,
But I wanted to git away 'fore I proved it.
You've shamed me through and through.
学习啦在线学习网 Why couldn't you hold your tongue,
And spared me seein' you
学习啦在线学习网 As you really are."
学习啦在线学习网 "What the Devil's the row?
I only said Art was lucky.
学习啦在线学习网 What you spitfirin' at me fer?
Ferget it, Alice.
学习啦在线学习网 We've had good times, ain't we?
学习啦在线学习网 I'll see Cleve 'bout that job agin to-morrer,
And we'll be married 'fore hayin' time."
"It's like you to remind me o' hayin' time.
I've good cause to love it, ain't I?
Many's the night I've hid my face in the dark
To shut out thinkin'!"
"Why, that ain't nothin'.
学习啦在线学习网 You ain't be'n half so kind to me
学习啦在线学习网 As lots o' fellers' girls.
Gi' me a kiss, Dear,
And let's make up."
学习啦在线学习网 "Make up!
You poor fool.
Do you suppose I care a ten cent piece
学习啦在线学习网 For you now.
You've killed yourself for me.
Done it out o' your own mouth.
学习啦在线学习网 You've took away my home,
I hate the sight o' the place.
You're all over it,
Every stick an' stone means you,
An' I hate 'em all."
"Alice, I say,
Don't go on like that.
I can't marry yer
Boardin' in one room,
But I'll see Cleve to-morrer,
I'll make him ----"
学习啦在线学习网 "Oh, you fool!
You terrible fool!"
"Alice, don't go yit,
Wait a minit,
I'll see Cleve ----"
"You terrible fool!"
"Alice, don't go.
Alice ----" (Door slams)
