Florence!<br />

EDWARD (CONT’D)<br />

With a delighted laugh, EDWARD begins to walk, then run towards<br />

her.<br />

FLORENCE gets to her feet, picks up her canvas satchel and runs<br />

towards him. She wears a dandelion in her buttonhole and has<br />

tied her hair with a scrap of coloured velvet.<br />

Among the cricketers at the nets, knowing nods and winks.<br />

EDWARD AND FLORENCE embrace. In their excitement, between<br />

kisses, they talk over each other, oblivious to the onlookers by<br />

the nets.<br />

EDWARD (CONT’D)<br />

How did you get here? How long have<br />

you...<br />

FLORENCE<br />

I took the train to Henley and walked<br />

through the woods. I had a map. Didn’t<br />

get lost once... Seven miles!<br />

EDWARD<br />

And you’ve been watching me...<br />

FLORENCE<br />

For half an hour. Loving you at a<br />

distance. Waiting for you to see me.<br />

EDWARD<br />

I was thinking about you just then,<br />

and I looked up, and there you were. I<br />

thought you were a hallucination!<br />

FLORENCE<br />

Sitting quietly, loving you so hard.<br />

Oh Edward, I came by that little<br />

church you told me about...<br />

EDWARD<br />

You liked it.<br />

FLORENCE<br />

I wish we could be married there.
