SUSY<br />
Oh, I do feel it!<br />
She stopped short, and wondered what on earth she had meant<br />
to say next, and why she had so abruptly lost the thread of<br />
her discourse.<br />
In the pause she heard him cough slightly and clear his<br />
throat.<br />
NICK<br />
Let me say, then, that I’m glad<br />
too-immensely glad that your own<br />
future is so satisfactorily<br />
settled.<br />
She lifted her glance again to his walled face, in which not<br />
a muscle stirred.<br />
SUSY<br />
Yes: it-it makes everything easier<br />
for you, doesn’t it?<br />
NICK<br />
For you too, I hope.<br />
He paused, and then went on.<br />
She interrupted.<br />
NICK (cont’d)<br />
I want also to tell you that I<br />
perfectly understand-<br />
SUSY<br />

mean.<br />
They were again silent.<br />
With twitching lips, she broke out at last.<br />
SUSY (cont’d)<br />

friends? Won’t it be easier?<br />

NICK<br />
SUSY<br />
I mean, about talking things<br />

arrangements to be made, I suppose?
