Elizabeth. No, he made it very easy for me. He’s a nice old thing.
Teddie. You were rather scared.
Elizabeth. A little. I am still. I don’t know why.
Teddie. I guessed you were. I thought I’d come and give you a little moral support. It’s ripping here, isn’t it?
Elizabeth. It is rather nice.
Teddie. It’ll be jolly to think of it when I’m back in the F.M.S.
Elizabeth. Aren’t you homesick sometimes?
Teddie. Oh, everyone is now and then, you know.
Elizabeth. You could have got a job in England if you’d wanted to, couldn’t you?
Teddie. Oh, but I love it out there. England’s ripping to come back to, but I couldn’t live here now. It’s like a woman you’re desperately in love with as long as you don’t see her, but when you’re with her she maddens you so that you can’t bear her.
