Daisy. They say life is short. Good God, how long the days are.
Amah. You want pony—Harry give you pony. You want jade ring—Harry give you jade ring. You want sable coat—Harry give you sable coat. Why you not happy?
Daisy. I never said I wasn't happy.
Amah. Hi, hi.
Daisy. If you laugh like that I'll kill you.
Amah. You no kill old amah. You want old amah. I got something velly pletty for my little Daisy flower.
Daisy. Don't be an old fool. I'm not a child any more. [Desperately.] I'm growing older, older, older. And every day is just like every other day. I might as well be dead.
Amah. Look this pletty present old amah have got.
[She takes a jade necklace out of her sleeve and puts it, smiling, into Daisy's hand.
Daisy. [With sudden vivacity,] Oh, what a lovely chain. It's beautiful jade. How much do they want for it?
