Edit Did You Know? Trivia Released as a split reel along with Jealousy and the Man Connections Featured in Mary Pickford: How stupid of me. HE Let's get this straight. Are you married to anybody? As if I would let anybody make love to me if I were! You did something quite as improper. You kissed a married man. HE It's the same thing. You thought I was married. SHE But you arenU. And — and — you re not married. HE In fact — well — there's no reason in the world why we shouldn't make love to each other!

HE Then — then — shall we? HE Dash it all, I don't know your name! Why do you say that? I know nothing about you. I've known you for less than an hour. SHE Besides — I don't like the way you go about it. If you'd propose the same way you made love to me, maybe I'd accept you.

HE Not at all!

I do want to marry you. But — SHE Well? HE Marriage is a serious matter. Now don't take offense! But, as you said, we don't know each other. Tve no doubt that when we get acquainted we will like each other better still. But we've got to get acquainted first. You want to know all about it. I warn you that you'll never know all about me. So you needn't try.

Go ahead and cross-examine me if you like. I'll tell you to begin with that I'm perfectly healthy, and that there's no T.

What else do you want to know? SHE Oh, just for fun. You aren't a Socialist, are you? At least not my kind. I believe in mu- nicipal ownership of street cars, and all that sort of thing. I'll give you some books to read SHE Well, I never ride in street cars, so I don't care whether they're municipally owned or not. By the way, do you dance? SHE You must learn right away. I can't bother to teach you myself, but I know where you can get private lessons and become really good in a month.

It is stupid not to be able to dance. You might as well know that to begin with. You might as well know that to begin with! This will never do. You see, my dear, it's simply that I cant dance, and there's no use for me to try to learn. SHE Anybody can learn. Tve made expert dancers out of the awkwardest men! HE But, you see, I've no inclination toward danc- ing.

It's out of my world. SHE And I've no inclination toward municipal owner- ship. Ifs out of my world! HE It ought not to be out of the world of any in- telligent person. SHE I never could bear quarrels. HE An unhappy marriage. SHE realizing it Oh! HE firmly Good-bye, then. He breaks loose and stamps away, then turns to her. HE Do you suppose that is enough? SHE I wish it were! HE And then — wretchedness. SHE No — never! HE We mustn't do it. SHE I suppose not. HE Come, let us control ourselves.

I — I'll go to Europe for a year. Try to forget me. SHE I shall be married when you get back — perhaps. HE I hope it's somebody that's not bald and fat and forty. HE We mustn't prolong this. If we stay together another minute — SHE Then go! HE I can't go! SHE You must, darling! HE Oh, if somebody would only come along! There is an odd gleam in his eyes. It has already begun.

What good can I do now? I can do it myself. It was utterly beyond my power. At this distance I can perhaps make my farewell in a seemly and innocuous manner. Are you Helen Egerton? THE AGENT Your aunt and uncle have just discovered each other up at the house, and they have arranged for you all to take dinner together to-night, and then go to a ten-day house-party at Mr. Eger- ton's place on Long Island. They want you two to get married. We'll have to get mar- ried now whether we want to or not! Just to please them? I shan't do it! But I won't do it — no matter what he says!

Miss; but is it really true that you don't want to marry this young man? That's the chief difficulty. No doubt it seems ridiculous to you. I've known marriage to go to smash on far less than that. When you come to think of it, a taste for dancing and a taste for municipal ownership stand at the two ends of the earth away from each other. They represent two different ways of taking life. And if two people who live in the same house can't agree on those two things, they'd disagree on ten thousand things that came up every day.

And what's the use for two different kinds of beings to try to live together? You will help us not to get married! HELEN We must find some way to get out of it, or they'll have us cooped up together in that house before we know it. Rising and coming over to the Agent Can't you think up some scheme?

I'm a bachelor myself. Miss, and that means that I've thought up many a scheme to get out of marriage myself. I've always gone through the marriage cere- mony to please them. But that's not what I call marriage. They start out as much in love with each other as you two are to-day, and they end by being as sick of the sight of each other as you two will be twenty years hence if I don't find a way of saving you alive out of the Devil's own trap. It's not lack of love that's the trouble with mar- riage — it's marriage itself.

And when I say marriage, I don't mean promising to love, honor, and obey, for richer, for poorer, in sick- ness and in health till death do you part — that's only human nature to wish and to at- tempt. The madcap spirit of their collaboration is reflected by the inevitable Warlock limerick: On his feet again in June, Warlock abandoned the family estate, Cefn Bryntalch, in Wales, where he'd led a quietly productive life since autumn , for Chelsea, eventually settling in Eynsford, Kent, with the new year.

And during this hectic year he composed Sweet and Twenty "O mistress mine, where are you roaming" , the Clown's song from Twelfth Night. Thoroughly at home with Shakespeare , whose lyrics he set more often than anyone's except Yeats ', Sweet and Twenty -- dedicated to John Goss -- drew high praise from musicologists Ian Copley and Brian Collins for its intricate technical mastery and immediate appeal.

There are few other songs of Warlock 's that so wholeheartedly give the impression of being the product of one single, short, intense creative impulse. AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript in your browser to use the site fully.
