Without Love Page #11

You mean I have no authority

even in your own house?

- I nearly did, Pat.

- Nearly did what?

- Fall.

- For Paul? Ridiculous.

- I know. But it's true.

- Oh, nonsense.

You're not the falling type.

You're like the Tower of Pisa.

You may have certain leanings

but you always remain upright.

- You don't think I'm serious.

- All right, you're serious.

Are you going to Reno or shall I go?

Or we could go together, Pat.

It might be fun.

Mighty pretty, this western country.

Mighty.

Feel the altitude?

I thought it was my heart.

Oh, here we are coming into town.

Made that in nothing flat.

That must be the Metropole.

Right nice hotel, they tell me.

I hope they have rooms for us.

Is there somebody still at the desk?

- Yes, right here.

- Good evening, whatever your name is.

- Good evening, miss.

- Missus, if you don't mind.

I don't mind. Don't mind a bit.

Have you two rooms reserved

in the name of Jamieson?

How long do you expect to be here?

The usual time, six weeks.

- Divorce, you're after.

- It's a divorce he's after.

Don't be silly.

He's obviously mad about you.

What makes you think so?

His heart.

I can't see it.

You're standing in the wrong light.

His every thought overflows with you,

waking, sleeping and sleepwalking.

- Go on.

- Now, don't rush me. Just take it easy.

He flew to Washington with

a cake on his lap for your birthday.

Your real birthday,

and he hates birthdays.

Have you reservations for us

or have you not?

Well, we might have

with certain reservations.

Can't you possibly rid yourself of them?

We understood it was to be for a single.

Who's the person with you?

- My husband.

- Oh, that's what you say.

All right, he's my gentleman friend.

We may have something

on the second floor.

A little old-fashioned, do you mind?

No, I don't mind.

So you will send the luggage up

in a little while?

In a very little while, madam.

And in the meantime,

here's the key to your room.

Oh, Pat.

- Thank you so very much.

- Not at all.

We're looking forward

to having you with us.
