THE OWL 103 see what you expected to gain by writing. Surely you didn't expect an answer? Claire: No, I didn't expect a reply. There was nothing he could say. I told him that. I just wanted him to know. That's all. Larry: Well, he's never said anything about it to me. Claire Cquietlyjz I-Ie wouldn't. He's not the type to go around talking about the letters he gets from women. Larry Cimpatientlylz I-low do you know what kind of man he is, you only met him once. Claire Cserenelyl: I just know. Larry fwarninglyl: Claire, you're crazy. You're making a god out of David, putting him on a pedestal and worshipping. You can't do it. I-Ie's only human, like the rest of us, not above looking at a pretty face or a nice ankle. Claire: You're wrong Larry fLarry snorts in disbelief. Claire laughsl Oh, I don't mean that he isn't attract- ed by ,women. I don't expect him to be a Galahad. He may have had affairs, I don't know. That isn't important-what is important is what happens after we meet. There have been men in my life, too, you know. Larry: Not these last few years. Claire: N o, not since I fell in love with him. Larry Cpityinglyj: Claire, Claire. CVery gentlyj You love him very much, don't you? Claire: There is no room in my heart for anyone else. Larry: Women who love too greatly so often suffer for it. Claire: I know, but it's worth it. I never knew that there was so much of beauty in the world. CBrokenlyJ Even little things - because of him - finchoatelyi I - Larry - Cpleadinglyj don't you see? Won't you un- derstand ? Larry Cslowlylz I understand. CPauseJ CBrightlyD By the way

102 - THE OWL Larry Claughslz One would think you were going to meet the executioner instead of the man you love. Claire Cwistfullyl: It is silly of me, isn't it? C Sudden terror in her voice? Larry! Larry! Suppose he doesn't even like meg what'l1 I do ? lsobs J. All these years I've been building for this moment. CPassionatelyJ He must care. He must. Larry fgentlyzl Claire, you must remember you cannot compel love. Claire : I know, I know. But I care so terribly it seems impossible that he shouldnit care too, Csighsl and yet I know it is possible. Larry, Cwistfullyj you know the kind of man he is, do you think he might care ? Larry Cimpatientlylz How can I tell? lPersistentlyl I don't see why he shouldrft, you're an attractive, intelligent and charming Woman Clightlyl and he's only human. Claire Cbegging for reassurancelz You really think so? Do you imagine he'1l think so, too? CDesperatelyJ I don't want him to look upon me just as another woman. I want to be loved because Iim myself. CTerror in her voice? What shall I say? How shall I act? Larry Camusedjz One would think you were a gauche, an awkward girl in her teens instead of a woman of poise and maturity. Act naturally. Treat him just as you do my other friends when you first meet them. You're not going to fall at his feet and worship, or Claughingl are you ? Claire Cimpatientlylz Don't be silly, this is serious.

Claire ldefiantlyiz Yes, I did. fLarry whistles? I don't sup- pose he'll remember but I wish I knew Whether he does or not. It would make it easier for me if I thought he had forgotten. I am not sorry I wrote it. I'd do it again. Larry Cmystifiedl: But, Claire, I don't understand. I can't
