Blyth. You'll know me better next time.
Europa. That's the style! We can collaborate.
Blyth. What are you getting at?
What do you want to know?
Europa. I'll tell you, Blyth.
I want to know what makes this theatre feel
Uncanny. All the time I'm like a ghost
Astray in some mirage.
Blyth. A plump one, lady;
A very handsome one.
Europa. Thanks, Blyth; I'm fit.
I'll tell you something else, because I like you:
I want to take possession of Sir Tristram;
I have it in me, Blyth. What do you think?
Blyth. Sir Tristram's married and a gentleman.
Europa. And I'm an actress: an actress, do you see?
And furthermore, and most, there's not a crowd
Of actresses in London, or in the world.
Blyth. A many actresses have tried it on.
Europa. And all have failed, and all were bound to fail;
But every one prepared Europa's path.
