We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
62 THE CINEMA
sibella: O, Louis, I don't want to marry Lionel. louis : Why not? sibella: He's so dull.
louis: I must admit that he exhibits the most extraordinary capacity for middle-age that I've ever encountered in a young man of twenty-four. However, it's a bit late in the day to think of that, isn't it? sibella: I know. That only makes it worse. She sobs again. Louis strokes her hair. louis: I always told you you should marry me. sibella: I know. That makes it worse, too. She looks up at him. They kiss.
14 Interior Hallward's Drawing Room. Day. Sibella and Lionel are standing receiving guests after their wedding. Louis comes in, in an exquisite frock-coat. He bends over Sibella' }s hand, kisses it.
louis: You look more lovely today than I have ever seen you. Her eyes drop for a moment. Louis moves on, gives Lionel a frank, manly handshake. louis : You're a lucky man, Lionel, take my word for it. Louis moves on, over to a table en which the wedding presents are laid out. louis' voice: I could not help feeling that even Sibella's capacity for lying was going to be taxed to the utmost. Time had brought me revenge on Lionel and, as the Italian proverb says, 'Revenge is a dish which people of taste prefer to eat cold.' Louis is looking down sardonically at one of the presents. It is a set of antlers, converted into a hat rack. Attached to it is a card 'From Mr Louis D'Ascoyne Mazzini.'
15 Exterior Dark Room. Dawn. Louis comes quietly along the path through the shrubbery. He is carrying a small can.
