“The Painted Veil” Quotation
[opening Lines]
Walter Fane:
Hello.
Kitty Garstin:
Hello.
Walter Fane:
Say, I was wondering…
Kitty Garstin:
What?
Walter Fane:
Sorry. I - I was wondering if you’d like to dance.
Kitty Garstin:
Why not?
[while Walter and Kitty are out at the Chinese Opera with Charlie and Dorothy Townsend]
Charlie Townsend:
Are you enjoying it?
Kitty Fane:
I’ve never seen anything like it.
Charlie Townsend:
Every gesture has a meaning. See how she covers her face with the cloth? She is mourning her misfortune.
Kitty Fane:
What happened to her?
Charlie Townsend:
She was sold into slavery. Condemned to a life of drudgery and dispair in a strang land far from home. See the chains? They represent the heavy bondage of her poor, trapped soul from which there is no escape, and so she weeps. She weeps for the lively, vivacious girl she one was, the lonely woman she has become… an most of all… she weeps for the love she’ll never feel, for te love she’ll never give.
Kitty Fane:
Is that really what she’s saying?
Charlie Townsend:
Actually I haven’t a clue what she’s on about. I don’t speak Chinese.
Charlie Townsend, Kitty Fane:
[laughs]
[as Kitty serves herself a helping of the uncooked vegatables from the local cholera infected crop]
Walter Fane:
Are you looking to kill yourself?
[Kitty eats the vegatables with a conteptous smirk]
Walter Fane:
[Walter then serves himself and eats his in the same manner]
Kitty Fane:
It’s raining cats and dogs.
Kitty Fane:
I said it’s raining cats and dogs.
Walter Fane:
Yes, I heard you.
Kitty Fane:
You might have answered.
Walter Fane:
I suppose I’m not used to speaking unless I’ve something to say.
Kitty Fane:
If people only spoke when they had something to say, the human race would soon lose the power of speech.
Walter Fane:
Do you like flowers?
Kitty Fane:
Not particularly, no. Well, I mean yes, but we don’t really have them around the house. Mother says, “Why purchase something you can grow for free?” Then, we don’t really grow them either. It does silly really. To put all that effort into something that’s just going to die.
