Emily Beaudine : [in the stable] Hello.
Saul Trevethick : Hello. Are Bess and Julie home?
Emily Beaudine : Yes they are, surely.
Saul Trevethick : It's sweltering hot outside. What do you think?
Emily Beaudine : I wouldn't know. Whatever you think, will do.
Saul Trevethick : No, don't go. Larry about somewhere?
Emily Beaudine : Strange you should ask me that, you must have passed him just now. You're not fooling me, you see. You're very young, aren't you?
Saul Trevethick : Am I?
Emily Beaudine : It's a great pleasure to have you breathing down my neck.
Saul Trevethick : Like it?
Emily Beaudine : If it wasn't so draughty. And it's thirsty work in the fields, isn't it?
Saul Trevethick : Well, why do you ask?
Emily Beaudine : Cos' I can just smell that you've quenched it.
Saul Trevethick : I never know when you're joking. You're a funny thing.
Emily Beaudine : Indeed, how I must make myself laugh. Now you mustn't stand so close to me. If someone were to come in, it would be a great pity to make a fool of yourself.
Saul Trevethick : You like me, don't you?
Emily Beaudine : I haven't given it a thought.
Saul Trevethick : Emmie's there's, there's something about you that... that, you know what I mean, don't you? Don't you?
Emily Beaudine : Indeed I hope I don't. Now I think it would be much better if, very quietly you were to tip-toe out and go...
Saul Trevethick : Stop it, I... I don't know what the devil's got hold of me. When I come near you, I... I don't seem to be able to, I never seem to hold myself like. I can't, I can't. Are you laughing at me?
Emily Beaudine : Let me look at you.
Saul Trevethick : Then don't joke with me.
Emily Beaudine : Very deep chest. You're stronger than I thought.
Emily Beaudine : No, no you mustn't kiss me.

Julie Tallent : [discovering Saul and Emily in the stable] Saul! Why you...
Saul Trevethick : Julie! Shut up!
Julie Tallent : Shut up? I'll scratch your beastly face, you skirt-chasing, little cad! Let me alone
[she slaps him]
Saul Trevethick : Julie! Please!
Julie Tallent : Don't touch me.
Bess Stanforth : What is all this?
Julie Tallent : This smirking ape can't be left alone with a maid for half minute but goes like a bull at her.
[to Saul]
Julie Tallent : You cheap little rotter. I ought to put my nails down your face.
Bess Stanforth : Julie, that'll do.
Bess Stanforth : Emmie. come here.
Julie Tallent : It's not Emmie's fault. It's that masher.
[exits in tears]
Saul Trevethick : Julie!
Bess Stanforth : You been making rather a fool of yourself, haven't you?
Saul Trevethick : Bess, I, I don't know what came over me.
Bess Stanforth : No, I don't think you do. Haven't you ever seen a good-looking servant before? Do you have to behave like a clown with ours?
Saul Trevethick : Sorry.
Bess Stanforth : Now listen to me, you turnip; you concoct a story Julie can pretend to believe. I'll do the rest.
Bess Stanforth : Just a minute, Emmie. I haven't finished with you.
