You've kept me
guessing for a fortnight. Guessing hard. I very nearly knew, all the
time. But not quite. And now I do know.
DAN: Why was you so keen on finding me out?
OLIVIA (_vehemently, coming to the table_): In the same way any
sane, decent-minded human being would want--would want to have you
arrested for the monster you are!
DAN (_quietly_): What d'you come back for?
OLIVIA: I ... I've told you....
_He smiles at her slowly and shakes his head. She sits at the table
and closes her eyes._
I got as far as the edge of the wood. I could see the lights in the
village.... I came back.
_She buries her head in her arms._ DAN _rises, looks at her a
moment regretfully, puts away his cigarette, and stands with both hands
over the invalid chair._
DAN (_casually_): She didn't keep any money anywhere else, did
she?
OLIVIA: I've read a lot about evil----
DAN _realises his hands are wet with paraffin and wipes them on his
trousers._
DAN: Clumsy....
OLIVIA: I never expected to come across it in real life.
DAN (_lightly_): You didn't ought to read so much.
